Jennie grew up in George, Iowa. Her childhood wasn’t a very pleasant one. I am sure it was good compared to some, but it could’ve been better. She grew up with her parents and her two younger brothers. Her whole life, and still to this day, her parents were heavy drinkers. When I asked how this affected her childhood she struggled to find the words to match the emotions running across her face, and finally said, “It was tough, and I had to keep an eye on my brothers a lot.” Her parents did not encourage her much with important opportunities, such as education. This is one of the reasons her education stopped after she graduated high school. When in high school, she wanted to be a social worker, which again proves her love to care for others. When asked why this wish did not come true, she replied, “Teenage pregnancy changed it all.” Having a baby at the age of sixteen was tough, but so is Jennie. She managed to graduate high school, while caring for her child. After graduating, she moved around a little, and had another child, me. After having me, she moved to Kansas City, but eventually moved back to George with her family. She had two more kids, and when asked if she had planned on having 4 kids, she said, “I never had a certain number.” She is very successful today as a mother and as an employee at her job in Sheldon, Iowa. I find it inspiring that she was able to overcome so much in her young ages, and still be so happy and successful in her

She noticed during her visit to France and Belgium that prostitutes were denied their rights. Also, the state licensing of prostitutes had extended to other countries including Switzerland and Netherlands, imposing fear among those who were opposed to the CD Acts. Josephine was convinced that the there were not many opposition throughout the continent. Therefore, she decided to move to Paris, with her son, Stanley, as her companion. She did not know anyone from Paris, but she managed to receive support from a Pastor and was able to convince the public regarding the horrific CD Acts’ by speaking French. Then, she travelled to Rome, Switzerland and Geneva, to hold meetings, but the greatest problem still lies in Paris. The St Lazare hospital in Paris was a nightmare for prostitutes, for it was overcrowded; reeked of sewage, and the treatment was equipped with unhygienic medical tools, which spread the diseases even more. Yet, miracles were always with her, for Josephine received support from the Archbishops of both Orleans and Paris, where both had already begun a campaign against the hospital. She continued to hold public meetings and to fight for the European slave trade, before coming back to England. Later, she was disturbed when she heard that English women were being tricked by job offers into going to Belgium,

Criminal Minds is my favorite show. One day I was sitting in English class just a regular day when I hear the words the murder of Mary Bean. Murder of Mary Bean I thought, it’s caught my eye in a heartbeat, how my teacher described it, she had me on the edge of my seat; an unidentified body, strapped to a board, rats eating her face: it gave me chills hearing about it.
She is proud of who she was in the past and even more proud of who she is now. It has taken her a lot of hard work and dedication to get where she is today. She has a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Nursing, a Master’s Degree in Education with a concentration in Guidance Education, and on the Licensed Professional Counselors Board of Examiners. She values education now, but as a child she just did what she needed to do to get out of her town. When asked, what comes to mind when she thinks about her coming of age story she answered, “a good foundation, supportive family and friends, prioritizing, and just knowing how to stop and enjoy life is what comes to mind when I think of how I came of age.” Since she is always ready for the next step in her life she plans on pursuing a doctorate degree and work as an adjunct professor or full time professor at a college. It is apparent that she truly believes that if you want to be successful you have to work hard in
Compassionate, caring and innovative. Mary R Hardwick touched the lives of everyone she met with her nurturing personality and bright ideas. While a big heart can be a blessing and a curse as I’m sure Dr. Hardwick knew all to well. I’ve made the absolute most of it. Ever since I was a small child I felt that I had an overwhelming debt to repay to the shear beauty of the living treasures around me. Growing up in Pennsylvania has defiantly played a major role in my appreciation for nature and instilled my drive to be the best person I can possibly be.

She informed me that prior to having children she thought that she would never experience the joy of motherhood. Mrs. Digat married young at seventeen years of age and longed to have a family of her own. Unfortunately, pregnancy did not come easily. She saw countless doctors and underwent numerous procedures in effort to become a mother. There was nothing she wanted more out of life that to have her own little bundle of joy. Many years came and went without a baby that she so desired; Mother’s Day was especially difficult to endure. Then, unexpectedly after thirteen years of trying she became pregnant. This was the beginning of a
Mary Ward was born on January 23, 1585 in North Yorkshire, England to a catholic family. Four years after she was born, in 1589 her family home was burned down in an anti-Catholic attack but she and her sisters were saved by her father. She entered the religious life at the age of 15 by entering the Poor Clare Convent in Saint- Omer in France after feeling a call to a religious life. After a few years, when Mary Ward turned 24 she gathered companions and formed a religious community. However, Church authorities were opposed to the idea because before Mary Ward had gathered women to be active outside of enclosed walls, women would only work in cloistered communities if they wanted to pursue a religious life. Mary was also imprisoned by the English
