At this school we know that a lot of people have a lot of different people but seeing all of the strong empowering women walk out to stand up for something that we all are passionate about. I had the wonderful opportunity of standing up there with all of the women in my life that have made a difference someway or somehow. Standing up there and listening to all of the stories made me feel a certain way and seeing how that affected the other women in my life moved me more than if I had just read the pieces on my own. I loved the fact that male teachers went up there as well to show all the young men at our school what a feminist looks likes. I think that I didn’t really think that deep into why I was chosen to go up there with mrs Hood-Esparza, But once I talked to my advisor about it she made me realize that there was more than just being chosen. I was chosen because I am a strong young women that has been called those names but I have also proven that I am much more than that and I have a lot of courage to do that in front of people that have called me those names. And to be able to say it with confidence is something that doesn’t come easy for most but I felt the energy from the people around me and that is the reason that I got so much more out of that. The message that the poem sent was a lot more than the words that were said. I thought that I felt more empowered by the meaning that I got from it. I related so much to what was said in the poem that it was written for me or for women like me. This is just another reason that I love high tech and how it empowers their students to do thing like this and stand up for what they believe in.
