Florence Moses :Monologue
It’s hard being the “good girl.” Everybody thinks of you as an angel. Once this guy told me that I have a pure heart. In my head I was like “oh my God” not again. They see me as the epitome of holiness. Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to say that they’re totally wrong. I’m just saying that they need to give me a break. They need to stop putting me on a pedestal and glorifying me. Furthermore, people have high expectations of good girls. They expect us to live up to a certain reputation or certain standards of behavior. I’ve always done everything that was expected of me. But when I bend the rules a little bit it’s World War 3. I’m reprimanded, and labeled a lazy girl for not answering the phone at 5 am in the morning. Who wakes up at 5am in the morning when classes start at 10? Who wakes up early during the weekends?. They don’t understand the fact that I’m not in High school anymore; therefore my classes don’t start at 7 or 8am. I need freedom. I’m tired of people controlling my life. I’m ready to live my life and soar like an eagle.
