It would be the typical girl-meets-boy love at first sight type of story if it hadn’t been the fact that they meet at a support group for young adults struggling with cancer.

The text states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” Title IX opened the door to so many opportunities for woman, not only on athletic fields but also in the classroom.

The woman on our poster included Shannon Miller, Sonja Henie, Billie Jean King, Mia Hamm, and Babe Didrikson.

There is a part to myself of admiring OCD because of having the good advantage of it that will help to be successful. Hughes becomes obsessed with shooting the film realistically, aiming to be perfect and organized film.
