Today I have been accepted into Trinity College! Hooray! My mother and father will be so proud of me. I hope to follow in the footsteps of Grace Annie Lockhart who is the first woman to graduate from a Canadian university. To most this goal may seem absurd but stranger things have happened. When I gained knowledge of my accpentance I was quick to tell my parents and siblings they were all very supportive not mention pleasantly suprised.
Not everyone is as excited of my achievement as my family and I. Society considers me an outcast, women are not expected to attend school their work is at home taking care of their children and husband, but why should I care about the opinion of society that has no problem with child labour?! I hate the idea of my life being layed out for me by people who do not really care for my opinion or ideas. I really do hate that women let that kind of thing be done to them but mark my words I am one woman who will fight past these limited lives. Limits, limits, limits what an ugly word! That is a word that I hope to forget.
