MONA LISA SMILE

Hello everyone, 
As a jury member of the committee choosing the person of the year, I want to announce my candidate with a small story to explain my reasons.I introduce  Katherine Ann Watson to you .In 1953, Katherine Ann Watson , a 30-year-old graduate student in the department of Art History , takes a position teaching "History of Art" at Wellesley College , a conservative women's private liberal arts college in Massachusetts  because she wants to make a difference and influence the next generation of women. At her first class, Katherine discovers that the girls have already memorized the entire syllabus from the textbook so she decides to introduce them to Modern Art. Moreover , she  encourages them to discuss about topics such as what makes good art and what the Mona Lisa's smile means. This brings her into conflict with the conservative College President warning Katherine to stick to the syllabus if she wants to keep her job. Katherine doesn’t give in and  inspires them to seek more than marriage to eligible young men. Katherine realises Joan Brandwyn wanting to  be a lawyer and then she encourages her to apply to Yale Law School, where she is accepted. She decides that she wants  to be a wife and mother after graduation and asks Katherine to respect her choice. Katherine is dissapointed but she indulges her desire.With her classes , her students’ point of view about the life enhance a lot and of course, she is getting happy and successful day by day.Meanwhile , Joan realise that she is not happy in her marriage life and she divorces from her husband.She applies to the Yale Law School and with Katherine’s suggestion. College president impose conditions on Katherine: she must follow the syllabus, submit lesson plans for approval, keep a strictly professional relationship among all faculty members, and not talk to the girls about anything other than classes. Katherine decides to leave because she knows that she give them a chance to change their lifes. In the light of these informaiton which are given above about her purposes and her success , I want to choose her. Katherine is an extraordinary woman who objects to traditional learning syles. She rescues The students from being stereotype person  and she compels them to see the world through new eyes !
