To me being a woman means so much more than the stereotypes. It’s not about cleaning or fixing our hair. Being a woman means strength‚ multitasking‚ hard work‚ dedication. We are not fragile or sensitive‚ there is strength in all of us and no one can take that away. That meaning has revolutionized in the last few decades. Back then‚ being a woman meant cleaning‚ cooking‚ taking care of children; women were taught to be “lady like.” Their voice was small and often unheard. Dorothy Day was born in

No‚ Life in the army is nothing like Charley expected it nor did any of the other soldiers. At the end of the first chapter‚ it says “ Nobody thought it would be so bad. Nobody thought it could be so bad. And all the officers and politicians and newspapers said it would be a month or two‚ no longer. It would all be over by fall.” Charley didn’t think the war would be so bad because the press led him to believe this. The war officers and colonials led Charley and themselves to believe that this

The situations I dealt with in my own life I did not always see His hand at the moment. Taking the time to stop and look behind me‚ I guess you could say I see the bigger picture. It took me longer to get to where I needed to be because of my own selfish ways. I see that I made it to where God has called me to be‚ it’s because of Him and Him alone. It’s not anything of my own accord. Through
