Lisa's Hidden Identity
The only thing Lisa wanted was to go to a good school. She deserved it; she got good grades in school and everything. It's not her fault that her family can't afford to pay for her tuition. So, she decided to join the ROTC, that way she could get a full scholarship to a good private school. However, there's a problem for Lisa. She's a lesbian, except that's not the problem, the problem is, is that the ROTC doesn't allow homosexuals into their program. So she had to make a decision. Either go to a not so good school, that didn't cost as much, or lie, and go into the ROTC so you could have a full scholarship. I think that she made the right decision, and lied to the ROTC and say that she wasn't a lesbian. This way she can get that great education she wanted, and the best part is that she's getting it for free. All she has to do is keep her sexual preference a secret to the ROTC program. Lisa, like everyone else, has many identities. Obviously, we all know that she is a lesbian, that's the main focus of this case pretty much. She is also a student, daughter, friend, athlete, and a member of the ROTC. I think that the most important identity for her right now is being a student. That's what she has to concentrate the
As school went on, Lisa got into another problem. She had met another girl, a girl that she could possibly date. They did go on one date to the movies, and as Lisa was started to become very attracted to this other girl, Jenny. She also had the feeling that Jenny had the same feelings for Lisa. Then Jenny had asked her to go on a second date, and Lisa was so happy. Then, Jenny dropped the bomb. Lisa was asking about how come she has never seen Jenny's brother around, and Jenny had told her that he was real busy with the ROTC. That basically killed their relationship right there. There was no way that she could go out with Jenny because her brother would soon find out that she was a lesbian, and soon she would lose her scholarship. She is definitely in a no-win situation. She basically has two options; she could either stay with Jenny and risk losing her scholarship through ROTC, or she could stop seeing Jenny and keep her scholarship and finish school. Most people would say that she should definitely stop seeing Jenny because there are so many other girls that she could start to date once she graduates, but what if Jenny is the one? I myself believe in that every person has one soul mate that they will eventually find, but what if Jenny is Lisa's soul mate. Does she risk that so that she can continue her education? However, there is the idea that maybe Jenny isn't even gay. What if she was just being nice and wanted to be Lisa's friend. Then Lisa goes and tries to date her, Jenny then tells her brother, and her brother then tells the rest of the ROTC. Lisa then loses her scholarship for absolutely nothing. I personally think that Lisa should definitely stop seeing Jenny and continue her education. It isn't fair for her to have to
