She looks out across her room,
out the window, she sees her brother outside, going off to school,
she stops, thinks, and wonders, really carefully,
and says,
“WHY CAN’T I GO TOO”?
“We, girls, deserve an education; we’re all free, equal, and human,
when I grow up, I'm, going to make that change happen,
so girls can all go to school,”
so that ambitious girl grew up,
became an extreme role model,
for girls who want to make a positive change in academics, arts, sports and otherimportant subjects in life.
And that change is happening right now, so they could all go to school together,
girls and boys,
boys and girls.
