CBI, Girls Inc.: Student Analysis

Unlike the black girls, she is truly confident and accepted the fact that no one is perfect and that everyone is different. This acceptance allows her to talk openly about the fact that the girls of troop 909 are “delayed learners”, and that many of them “just have special needs” (25). The troop 909 leader’s approach to deal with difference is completely the opposite than the black girls’ approach because she focuses on the best while the black girls try to find something bad even if there isn’t

The United States Navy and strong leadership are synonymous. I have been raised in a family that emphasized leadership and integrity. These qualities are demonstrated through distinct and profound attitudes, behaviors, and core moral values. I want to be part of something that matters and gives me the opportunity to succeed while helping people. Being a Naval Officer offers the fulfillment I am looking for.

Black Girls Code is all about giving girls that chance to change the world. And since there aren’t many programs out there like this, many girls of all different backgrounds joined

Bravery, not perfection. These three significant words portray Reshma Saujani’s objective as the founder of Girls Who Code. Before she started her educational program, Reshma Saujani was engaged in the 2008 presidential election. She was the first Indian-American woman to run for Congress. Reshma was committed to run for the election even with low popularity in votes; eventually, she lost the congressional race. Her determination to fight for her program, Girls Who Code, was strengthened by her lost in the congressional race. Her elaborate mind and intuitiveness drives me to be a risk-taker in school by taking AP courses and participating in STEM programs in New York City. In summation, her ability to continue to strive for success among her

Sikes met many girls whom she could not believe what had persuaded them to live like they did. Most of the girls wanted to just fit in with something, to have power or be safe. Sikes recognized that all these girls

The film is centered on a group known as the Women’s Army. It is a group comprised of women who seek to eradicate the ever-present inequalities between males and females. They end up going on marches, networking with different radio shows and meeting together in order to find ways to educate women and the general public about the hypocritical nature of the government and its role in the social and economic status of women. In the beginning of the film we see men catcalling women as they walk down the street, harassing them while riding the subways, and even attempting to rape them in broad daylight. This highlights the impact of societies ideology about gender

Throughout the whole video, from the beginning till the very end, the girls had a clear message for all to hear. To me this message was “we are all equal, no matter which religion we believe in, our ethnicity, etc.” The two girls strongly reasoned by the fact that all people are born equal and should be treated the way you want to be treated. They quoted, “We both live in a country which swears up and down that all people are equal, our hands should be caught together, fists raised as one, fighting against the stereotypes this country has put upon my

She writes that a female executive should, "Quit bein' a girl," and explains that a woman has choices, and is capable of growing into a role as a leader (Frankel, Lois P. 5) . She provides suggestions for behavioral changes, demonstrates how they can act more like women in the workplace and explains that her remedies to a stalled career are much like a diet, and must be committed to fully and applied consistently before they can have their intended effects. After all the mistakes women make in their careers have been identified, and Frankel's coaching tips have been explained, she describes how women can create a personal development plan with a final chapter dedicated to bringing her guidance full circle. She suggests that choosing just one behavior per week to focus on can help women become more aware of their actions, and understand how they sabotage themselves. Once women have replaced their self-defeating behaviors with more effective ones, they will begin to act more like the women they are capable of becoming and less like the girls they were taught to be.

Still I was determined to find some type of success before I left high school, and since my high school offered a welding certification program, reluctantly I accepted the opportunity. I figured at a minimum, becoming a welder would earn me the same honest living as becoming a teacher. While participating in the program taught me about working hard and becoming a disciplined young adult, I realized my passion for welding would never burn the same way the metals did. After joining the cornerstone honors program my life changed. For the duration of my first year of college I was exposed to a system of learning that re-fuled the passion that was extinguished in high school. Joining the honors program allowed me great opportunities I never even saw coming. I gained the confidence to join the phi theta kappa honors society and become a chapter officer. Although I could never join the national honor society in high school. I now had the opportunity to immerse myself in community projects and leadership roles. See when I was in high school I didn’t know how to play the game. I didn’t know the importance of being involved in school activities. I didn’t know the importance of building relationships with instructors. The worst part was I didn’t know the importance of placing value on education. I now had the tools to play the game of education better than I had before. I had invested more time in my education than the average student and reaped the

During our three years at Cupertino Middle, we learned a lot. Not just about quadratic equations and the solar system, but also about friendship, kindness, and courage. We worked hard, had fun, and went out of our comfort zones everyday. Who new that we would survive the roller coaster ride of middle school and be here getting our diplomas. But we did. Now we are going to high school, hoping we can change the world for the better. Using the skills and formulas we learned, we just might be able to make a difference.

Preamble: It is at this point in American History that the new generations are growing and having their eyes pried open to the strict chains of the world around them. They are realizing how few opportunities the are given to express themselves, having been bound by social constructs and rigid expectations created by society at large. It is crucial that the children of the future can safely be themselves without the ridiculous “guidelines” that cage us in; we calls these gender normalities.

An event that I envision for the National Society of Collegiate Scholar is one that empowers women. This event would allow women in various chapters of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars to travel to high schools and middle schools to help establish confidence and integrity in young girls. Although times have change and women have achieve the same rights as men, a sharp difference still exist on how women are treated in America especially amongst African American women, which are said to be the most disrespected women in America. These differences creates low self-esteem and lack of confidence in women. As a child growing up, I did not have self-confidence and I did not believed in myself and the goals that I had in mind. I didn’t

The Guerilla Girls are a women’s activist art group. They are masked women who came together to make change in the world of art and women’s involvement in society. GG emerged in 1985 and still are active today in New York after 30 years of the emergence of the group. The Guerilla Girls used posters with real statistics to show awareness of sexism in the art world and the discrimination of women in politics as well as in the mass media. The Guerrilla Girls spread awareness of sexism in art, discrimination in politics and the mass media through their workshops, performances, and posters.

The fifth grade school year ended very quickly, Mrs.Cullen retired, and my classmates and I moved on to the next chapter of our lifes, sixth grade. As the next school year arrived, I went about sixth grade the same way I had started about fifth grade, I had a ton of friends in my class, and I thought that sixth grade would be a walk in the park. My advisor was Mr.Ferry, and having to write about 1000 times I will not disrupt class, I finally began to approach sixth grade in a different way. In sixth grade I learned the importance of mindfulness, and doing what I loved from

The girls are trying to acquire that “something real”, due to the fact that they are being discriminated because of their gender.
