I wanted to be a lawyer long before I ever understood anything else about my life. Long before I graduated elementary school, long before I recognized the life of a lawyer is not how the actors portray them on television reruns of Law & Order or JAG.

All I remember from my tenth birthday is how psyched I was about having received the very Barbie doll I’d wanted from my beautiful big sister Maggie. She’d just gone off to college, and anything we shared was automatically the most precious thing I owned. That Barbie doll with golden hair and tinsel adorned clothing became my obsession. For days I came home after school and locked myself in my room until Mother forced me to come and eat dinner with the family. Father always tried to occupy me

The whole purpose was to provide women with the ability to decide when and if they wanted to conceive, and that they should otherwise have a safe and effective means to prevent it.

The memoir I selected was Everything You Ever Wanted by Jillian Lauren. She describes her troubles as a college dropout, a drug addict, and a harem member; then she talks about how she turned everything around when she married a rock star and adopted an Ethiopian baby boy with special needs.
