When thinking about the strong female role models in my life, I was startled to realize they were not athletes, celebrities, models or famous activists or political figures. Instead, they were teachers — in science, social studies, English, dance, Spanish and art — I had throughout my elementary and high school years
Granted, most teachers back then were female. But still, what impresses me is that I chose real women who were not famous or wealthy. They simply showed up every day to convey their passion for what they were teaching, which made me excited to learn.
Who was/were/is/are your female role model(s)?
