Women of Strength and Hope For The Best

By Miriam W. (Form 3)

Opinion

I believe women are the most powerful people on earth, if only given the change to show what they can really do. Many people think that the work of a woman is to stay at home, take care of the kids, cook and give birth. I disagree with this. Women can multitask while men can not do that, because women have very powerful minds. Sometimes we are just too scared to show thw world what we can do. Maybe, we are afraid of being judged by fellow women in the community.

But, you can either decide to stay in the dark of our customs, or raise up and shine and approach daylight. Once in my community, we were not allowed to wear trousers, simply because our parents thought it was disrespectful, but as life goes on, we notice that it is the total opposite. Because of being empowered by so many great people in my life, I can now live the life I always wished for, and dream enormous dreams. I have power right inside me, just waiting to show the world.

Women, you are more powerful than you think. Don’t let people judge you for standing for what you believe in. To all women, I am proud of you.
