As some of you may or may not notice, I am nowhere near a writing or English major, and words don't always like to flow together well for me. However, everyone must experience something new at some point, be it drinking KoolAid, eating a marshmallow, or writing a blog.
With all the speakers we had during the last class, we had a lot of information thrown at us at once, but each had something valuable to tell us. I went post-secondary during my junior and senior years of high school, so when I graduated high school, I also graduated from Washington State Community College with my Associates Degree in History. Needless to say, I was fascinated with all the history of the college/university and the history of women in our university. It was so interesting to hear about and see pictures of all the influences that women have made on Otterbein throughout the years.
I was also extremely inspired by the "social theater" with Melissa Gilbert. That little exercise showed that no matter who you are, there will be barriers in your life, and that these barriers are not impossible to break down. It also let us see that we often share the same barriers and go through the same struggles as another girl, no matter how different she may be from yourself. No one is on their own, and every girl, leader or follower, needs great friends and a great attitude to get where she wants to go.
