Now, I understand that I am making generaliza­ tions here, out I feel that with every generalization there is truth behind it. I perceive that women are in a lose-lose situation.

The example I gave above is one of the many perceptions men have of women. Women are viewed as sex symbols - judged by their beauty and not taken seriously - the list goes on and on. As a young girl I was aware of the inequalities that women face. When I was in the fifth grade, I wanted to be the first female presi­ dent of the United States. I was fascinated by suffragettes, such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The Western states, such as Utah and Wyoming, were the first to give women the right to vote. I looked up to women like Eleanor Roosevelt and Mother Teresa. I grew up in an environment where I was encouraged and supported by both my mother and father to achieve my dreams, whatever they may be. I soon learned the environment I grew up in did not represent S.E. Needham quality at internet pricing the world at large. I found there are many girls who weren't as lucky as me, having encouragement and support from my friends and family. They grew up thinking the value of a woman was based on how pretty or skinny she was, not what was in her brain and how she could articulate her opinion. So what is the whole point of this piece? I want women to realize the potential they have and believe in themselves - whatever their S.E. Needham dreams and goals may be. Whatever your dream may be, make jewelers s n c e a plan, accomplish it and do it to the best of your ability. Women 1 8 9 6 are capable of being leaders in the home, school, government and workforce. For me, I want to be a mother someday and give back to the community. When I came to college I had a dream to change 141 North Main • www.seneedham.com • 435-752-7149 the world, and this is just one way that I will.
