Sor Juana

My entire life, however long my hair has grown has always been an accomplishment to me. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved for my hair to be long. In the Sor Juana reading, the most amazing aspect was how she cut her hair as a punishment in order to push herself to become better. Although I could never have the courage to chop off my hair as punishment, I am capable of understanding the reason behind this action. As her hair grew, if she did not accomplish her goal, she did not feel worthy to let it grow. To me, this is the most amazing idea and I believe it takes so much courage.
