Throughout Adelaide Hoodless's life she has made many contributions to Canada. One of the major ones was that she organized the first school for women, Household Science School, which opened in September 1895 (Adelaide Hunter Hoodless 1875-1910, n.d. pg.1). She believed that it was unfair only boys could go on to higher standards while girls had to stay home and do household work all day. So with this, Adelaide also became the co-founder of many organizations such as the National Council of Women (NCW), Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) (Stamp, 03/25/08, pg.1). She also nationalized the Young Women’s Christian Association also known as Y.W.C.A and was the founder of Women’s Institutes (ibib).

I had it everything: a house, a job, my family, a fiancée; but different social and family situations take me out of my nest and sent me to fly to a different world.
Feeling that she needed to socialise, Cady’s parents enrolled her to North Shore High school. On her first day of North Shore High school, Cady was often left out and she was unfamiliarised with the school’s surroundings and people. On the second day, Cady had become friends with two social outcasts, Janis Ian and Damian. Janis and Damian had misled Cady into thinking that they were taking to G14 for her Health Education class but instead, they brought her to the back of the school where they skipped class. This is where Janis had stated that they were friends and Cady stayed with them.

However in America secondary education doesn't start until seventh grade because they have a middle school, which is a prerequisite in order to attend the secondary school level. It starts of with junior high school form grade 7-8, followed by senior high school from grade 9-12. In contrast Germany, and many other European countries, have three different secondary schools which go from lowest to highest level of education: Haupschule, Realschule and Gymnasium. Only the Gymnasium education will enable students to go to university with their Abitur (diplom), which they get after completing 8 years of it. After Gymnasium the students in Germany go to university which will get them a Diplom similar to a masters degree after about 4-6 years.
