This year, I think that International Women’s Day is more important than ever. With all of the changes in the midterm elections and the women emerging into fame, a day to celebrate accomplishments big or small was just what we needed. I watched as women thanked the beautiful souls in their life and acknowledged the badass things that other women have strived for.
At this stage in my life, seeing women succeed in all walks of life is truly amazing. Watching those around me accomplish big promotions or score new clients shows that anyone can succeed no matter their gender. I look up to all of the women around me that are working their asses off at their jobs to create the life they want. It shows that nothing can stop you if you take control.
I have a lot of women in my life the inspire me and are my biggest role models. Nora, Sara and Kelly are such energetic and genuine women. They are people that I may not see all the time but when we get together it is like nothing has every changed. MaryPat and Maddie and my sisters, they have always supported me no matter what I am doing. Elliott is one of the strongest people that I know. She has gone through a lot and struggles with things that I can’t even imagine, but she is a positive, unique and intelligent women that is going to go far in life.
My best friends in Delta Gamma have pushed me in ways that I never thought were possible. Though some of the most fun times of my life to some of the hardest, these girls have helped me through. Carly and Abby are two of the most important women in my life right now. I could not thank them enough for giving me the opportunity to coach with them. You learn a lot as a coach, make a lot of mistakes but with your best friends by your side, you can accomplish a lot. And my biggest role model is the girl I get to call my best friend. Whitney is one of the most passionate and hardworking ladies I know. She takes life by the horns and runs with it. I admire how spontaneous and life-loving she is.
I hope that everyone finds their H E R (O) S because life is a lot more fun when you are surrounded by badass women! Thank you to you all, ciao!
