Sugar and spice and everything nice . . .
That's what little girls are made of.
Come on, girls are so much more than that!
We started off by closing our eyes and thinking about our dreams for the future. What do we want to be when we grow up? What type of women do we want to be? What will we do with our time and talents?
We did this in style, of course.
We wrote out our dreams.
We shared them with one another.
It was fun to see what the others want to do, where they want to live, whether they want to get married or have children.
We are aspiring authors, artists, vets, wives, mothers, cityslickers, country folks, beach lovers, and European travelers.
BUT WAIT! Girls couldn't always have such big dreams!
We spent the rest of our class reading and learning about women who did amazing things at times when women didn't have the same rights as men such as Abigail Adams, Elizabeth Blackwell, and Amelia Earhart. We also read about women like Rosa Parks, Sally Ride, and Sandra Day O'Connor whose more recent contributions also show some serious girl power!
What will we contribute?
There's no chance unless you take one!
Join us on Tuesday, July 31 at 6:00 pm for another Girl Power workshop!
