As I grew older, this dream faded as I gained other interests. At points, I wanted to be a teacher, a doctor, a veterinarian, or a princess, just to name a few. As I got into my upper years of high school, I began realizing that maybe choosing a career was not going to be as easy as I thought. As I debated over certain types of careers to pursue, my parents have always been there to help me out when I needed it and support my decisions about my future. They have also been very good at reminding me that I need to pursue a career that makes me happy, but still something that will be able to put food on the table.

I think the Riglers wanted to do more of experiment with Genie rather than just be her adopted parents and raise her with the help she needed. Susan was helping her learn to talk and practicing what she had just graduated from school for on Genie to help her.

Although she has learned a lot from her schooling and has a better knowledge than her mom & sister, I feel she possesses this know-it-all attitude about what heritage really is. Although Wangero does make a good point in saying that heritage is beautiful and should be shown as art for people to appreciate, I just feel she went about the situation all wrong. Maggie is at first a docile character, until she sees her sister disrespecting her mother and then she stands up because her mother doesn’t. I am not saying I have no sympathy for Maggie. Based on the theme of the story I feel that Maggie has a greater, more genuine appreciation for her heritage.
