My name is Brianna Prescott and I am a senior at Ohio University.  I am currently majoring in biology hoping to go onto medical school and to one day become a successful doctor. I do not currently know what field of medicine I want to specialize in, but I have just a few more years of schooling before I need to decide that.

I am taking this class mainly to fill the junior composition requirement but I must say that I am pleased with what we will be talking and reading about this quarter. I have heard a lot about other junior comp classes and the material has always sounded like a bit of a drag. This material however sounds not only interesting but fun in a way as well. What girl cannot relate to Barbie in some way?

I wouldn't say I love writing but I don't mind it. I had a wonderful teacher in high school who was truly inspiring and really taught me a lot. It really helped from the transition from high school to college in the terms of writing. However, other than freshman English I haven't really had to write papers for any other classes so it may be a little rusty for me at first. Like I mentioned earlier though, I am pleased with the different topics we will be discussing and writing about so I don't think I'll be as rusty as I thought originally. 

When I was a little girl I absolutely loved Barbie. I had so many Barbies: Gymnast Barbie, Baywatch Barbie, Aladdin and Jasmine, The Spice Girls, Barbie and Ken, Hawaiian Barbie, her sister Kelly, the whole 9 yards. I absolutely had all of the accessories Barbie could have from the house and the car, to all the shoes, clothes and pets. My friends would come "play" and Barbie would be the center of attention. Even at the end of the day Barbie had her own bed right next to mine. I loved Barbie until it was no longer cool enough to  play with her.
