Women are a pretty big deal.
I mean, just think of all the things we do: have children, teach children, cook, clean, work. We are, for all practical purposes, a superhero.
But how do us normal, college, high school girls become a superhero?
That's easy! We learn from other heroic women. Here are three important women that we need to learn some superhero-skills from
1. Amelia Earhart
The first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Everything was not always easy for her though. She dealt with a drunken step-dad and a broken family. Selling her first plane in order to give her family the money they needed, she pushed back the time-stamp of her dreams.
What to learn from her:
You can do anything that you set your mind to accomplish. She did not get to follow her dreams right out of the gate. She had to help take care of her family, she had important priorities. Sure, our dreams in life are important, but we need to remember our priorities before we get carried away with our dream and forget the people and things that mean the most to us.
2. Harriet Tubman
She created the underground railroad, which led to thousands of slaves becoming free. She left slavery and her family with only a pistol and her faith in God. Ultimately, she became one of the most wanted women of that time. There was a bounty for her arrest, but she continued the mission that she believed was right.
What to learn from her:
Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means risking your life to save others. You have to be able to stand strong and push on, even with a bounty on your head. People are going to dislike you and what your goals are, but you can't worry about them. Focus on your mission and if you know what you are doing is right, don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
3. Your Mother
The woman who raised you into becoming the woman that you are today, the ultimate superhero.
What to learn from her:
Be responsible for your actions even when you don't want to be. Have grace to the people who don't deserve it. Get a job, but don't get too busy to make memories. Follow your dreams, but never forget where you came from. Don't give the wrong guy your heart. But most of all, love unconditionally.
Don't give up and one day you'll be a superhero too.
