    I think there are a lot of media sources that limit females of
getting good education there are some that shows that a female is
supposed to be in the house cooking and cleaning like that is the only
thing they can do. And when they do give them jobs most of the time its
the type of jobs known to "be for a women" like a nurse, a nanny, a
teacher and etc.( not saying anything is wrong with these jobs) there
are a lot of jobs women can do and I know that we can surely get into
technology and the media doesn't encourage that too much.
    I don't know what the smartest thing I ever done was, maybe when I
get old and wrinkled : ) I can look back on my life and say be cause I
don't know how my decisions son far are going to effect the rest of my
life so maybe I will tell you when I figure that out.
    I think the best thing an adult has done for me would first off be
taking care of me the next is when I am down on my self and ready to
give up they give me the confidence to work through my problem. and
never lost faith in me.
