Reading in the Elementary- Blog 3

I read from the book, Big Girl by Danielle Steel for about 30 minutes. 

At the end of Victoria's sophmore year, she spends her summer working for a modeling agency, which she thoroughly enjoys and where she develops a great respect for models in that industry.  She goes on to date a few more boys and ends up losing her virginity to a boy she doesn't even care greatly for.  Victoria poors herself into her studies and applies for 8 private schools in New York, which is her dream job.  After 7 rejection letters, she recieves an interview from one of the more elite schools looking for a substitute for 1 year while a teacher is on maternity leave.  Victoria is thrilled with this opportunity and receives an interview on Valentine's Day in which she flies to New York for.  She loves the city and loves the school; it is a top notch school, although it is severely underpaid.  Victoria has excellent recommendations and grades; the only thing the school is looking to find out is if she is the right one for the job.  The interview goes well, as Victoria is honest and enthusiastic, and all thats left is to wait. 

I am enjoying this book.  Personally, I can relate to the main character because she wants to be a teacher and make a difference in the lives of children; this is quite similar to what I'd like to do with my future.  I am at the point in the story of Victoria's life where she is approaching graduation and deciding where she is going to go in life, which also has much to do with what I am dealing with also.
