I want to be able to be in the NICU and actually have the opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life and possibly save the lives of many children. I hope to be able to make a difference in the lives of the children and their families. Becoming a neonatal nurse practitioner is the only dream that i have had for for as long as I can remember and it means the world to me.

It was her mistake, so she is going to take on her responsibility, and be a great parent for her unborn child.
I did not want my son to think that I just gave him away because I did not love him or want him. I know I would never have a peace of mind if I went this route. I looked through adoption profiles of couples who were hoping to adopt. All their stories broke my heart and made me wish I had a baby for each of them. I then realized once more how incredibly lucky I was to be able to have a baby and the chance to love, care, and nurture him.
There are some days that I too think about ending my life, but I know that I must stay strong for my country and for you and the children. Speaking of you, how are things going on the home front? I hope things are going smoothly and knowing you I bet they are. How are my dearest daughters Ophelia and Meredith doing? It pains me to think of them growing up without a father.
Everything that Miss Moore put the kids through was to teach them a lesson and I feel like my parents did the same for me; they taught me a lesson to show me that life is not perfect and I do not get everything I want. Lucky for me, once I got out into the real world it was not shocking to me that everything did not go the way I wanted it to be.

Even though we have become more independent, she still does her best to be the best mom she can be. She has always tried to find a balance between working and being a wife and mother, but found that she has always put that first in her life before a career. She is now still working to help put me and my sister through college and will still work to pay for our weddings. Then she will work for her grandchildren. I guess you can say her role in life is to be happy, live comfortably financially and do everything she can to make her family comfortable and happy.
Now that’s growing up without a childhood. Jane Smiley seems like a great parent who cares about her children but to allow her daughters to put on makeup even entering their teenage years just isn’t right. Her girls where prematurely growing up, where behaving beyond their age, and with their only priority being beautiful at all times it seem to help them in the long run. As they burned off the “Barbie stage” and grew into more important things down their lives.

Daughter and mother relationships are something so valuable and should be treasured in my opinion. Many young girls admire their mothers, as they are their very first friend. They are each other's confidantes and pals. A mothers duty is to protect their young, and giving birth to a baby girl is a miracle, but then raising a daughter is a whole different miracle.
Sometimes it's things we can control, other times, well, things can't go the way we would like them to. The three characters mentioned above had tried so hard to live out their dreams, but they couldn't because of all the problems that came with that dream. Curley's wife couldn't reach hers because her mother wouldn't let her, and Curley would soon hold her back as well.
