This week we had some very prestigious women come and talk to us about balancing politics, being a women, and life. I could not believe that I was in the same room as the first woman Speaker of the House in Ohio. She seemed like a truly powerful and influential woman. I enjoyed her quote, "Think like a man. Work like a dog. Act like a lady. Look like a girl." I wrote it down and highlighted it! I definitely hung on every word that came out of that women's mouth. All five of the women essentially said the same thing; volunteer your time, work hard, take the high road, and perseverance pays off.
I'm pretty sure that I do not want to get into politics, but I can see myself volunteering at an political campaign or something of that nature. I believe that staying up-to-date with political issues is extremely important. One woman asked if we were all registered to vote and that every vote counts; I believe that fully. I plan on voting in any election that I can.
We also talked about how the glass ceiling has already been broken and there are so many opportunities that we have today. Also, how it is almost an obligation to reach and past the women that came before us.
Even though I find it contradictory to what our class stands for, I am SO excited to make cookies at Dr. Krendl's house next week. I hope that this turns out to be a great experience!
