Journal 12

 If my life were a movie, it would be a story of how a young woman is discovering herself and who she wants to be. it would open with a scene describing her struggles, such as her sitting at her computer desk at five minutes from midnight, finishing the last of her homework on a Sunday night. It would also reveal other main characters who play a large role in her life such as her brothers, and her parents, although they are having issues and are planning on splitting up. In the midst of the chaos of her life, the viewer would soon realize that she has lost herself in trying to please those around her. She stays home on the weekends to do schoolwork, because she wants to to get into medical school one day, or, atleast her parents want her to. The only break she takes is to go for a run, in hopes of one day gaining the slim figure that all of her friends have. She changes into sweats, put on her brand new Nike running shoes, a gift from Dad, and with a well-deserved twenty minutes to herself, she is out the door.
