A Journey Amongst Friends I was fortunate enough to go to nursing school with my best friend Harley.

The reason I chose this item is because in the book, the main character Pattyn Von Stratten used a journal write down all her troubles because her librarian Ms. Rose told her it would be good for her.

I had the idea of prejudice, but I was able to elaborate on it more with the help of my classmates and professor.

I always find that a peer knows how to understand what one is trying to say or help to make sense of it. He offered a lot of help and was willing to make notes on my paper to attempt at helping me make my paper the best it could possibly be.
