As a girl born in the 21st century, some might say that I we don’t quite understand what all the previous generations of women have done for us. And to some extent, that’s true. Every day I wake up in the morning, and I don’t think about WHY or HOW I get to go to school, or vote when I’m 18, or even get a job in the future. Nobody THINKS about these things, but they happened. Because generations of women worked for these rights.
And regardless of whether or not you support Hillary (I know I’ve certainly had my reservations about her [come on guys, don’t judge. Just because I’m young doesn’t mean I don’t read CNN and Politico and BBC and NPR and all the other news outlets. I have political opinions, too. ;)]), on July 28, 2016, HRC broke a glass ceiling that shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

P.S. The balloon drop wasn’t a complete failure this time!
P.P.S. Don’t tell anyone, but Obama’s speech brought me to tears. As did the fact that a woman was nominated for the highest seat in the nation.
P.P.P.S. You know what else will make me cry? If Trump becomes president….:(
Yes. Kudos to HRC. Good to see you are following the political scene.
Crying makes you human. And yes, there should be no ceiling to begin with.
🙂 too true.
