Change

Change is inevitable. It is everywhere, everyday. Sometimes the change is for the better, sometimes it's not. Women are starting to take a bigger part in seeing the chages they want to be made, and I like it. This year we actually had a woman running for president. That's huge for our country, but I don't think it should be. I think women should be seen just as capeable as men and should be in the running for president all the time.

At the beginning of Part 8 there is a quote I really liked. "You dont have to be Superwoman to change the world. You just have to take responsibility for your life and your community--and realize that you have the power to so, even from your own sticky kitchen table." I love this and think it is so true. Anyone can change the world, they just have to have the mindset they are going to be successfull and do what it takes to accomplish it.

The article from this chapter that really caught my eye was Article 40, "Ava Lowery: Teen Activist Making a Difference in the Iraq War." This is a perfect example of a girl who isn't letting her age or gender stand in the way of her fighting for what she believes in. I was shocked to hear she had gotten such rude comments and even death threats. But she didn't let those ruin what she is fighting for and I believe that shows a ton of character. She could have let those comments get to her and give up on what she believes in, but she didn't. If everybody had that passion for what they believed in this world could be a much better place.
