I did not know that the world sees women as “less” until I started school. I’ll say it again: the time when I entered my family from home, otherwise I noticed the world sees women as less of all. Between I went in football last shot despite every time homering to the plate, to the surprise in my second entry of the school teachers, when I was in math class to wear basketball hand-me-down uniforms from the seventh classy guys when it was new, he was surprised in equal parts and violated by the limits set world because I was an African-American girl. It ‘was a complete culture shock for me. If I did not love the school so much, I would have hated. I much prefer the comfort of my family, where I arrived and I had a voice. I am the youngest of the three and the only girl. If you think you’ve made it easier than my brothers and my parents had higher expectations of my brothers, as you did with me, you’re wrong (and your compassion is not welcome here). My parents raised me with the same expectations, rules, activities, curfews, like my brothers. Just as often as I did the dishes, I cooked my brothers. You would think that daddy screaming just as loud as listening to my games with my brothers from the sidelines. As a result, I grew up thinking and knowing that women can do everything. I have an interest in the history of the seventh grade. We have studied many different time periods-from the colonial period to the Second World War in Vietnam for the franchise women’s movement. Regardless of the weather, but it was obvious the world has never been guided by friendly women. One of the things I found most shocking was to learn how the women were allowed to legally 1,848 own country, as in New York Married Women Act property passed which served as a model for other states, finally, enact. fought the same principles and values of our ancestors to the people (read: white men) to have in this country, women did not. What were the men so afraid? Every time I came home and my parents ask why women treated so badly? ‘Always Instead of answering, and I was asking me their opinions or insight, my parents what I was thinking. I thought that the world was mad. I was living proof that if you were taught and proven to be successful and given to him, race tools, genre played, sexuality or religion does not matter. I would always think, “Why did not understand the world or understand and they just wanted to keep us?” My father always said suppression really scary masked only. Do not allow someone to vote, receiving education or on the ground just is not only a way for the famous to keep “their” power and control, but it is also a way for them to block their fears. The understanding of history helps us to know this to appreciate, but also plan for the future. It is 100 years since the electoral law permitted by the 19th Amendment, women’s entry into force. I say women, but in fact applied only to white women. An African American woman, who would be the vote will not be legally able to 1965- next 45 years. Another possibility, if only per set 21 years before I was born, it was the women who looked like me, the right to choose GIVEN. Think for a moment about that. In 1965, only 55 years before that time we can prevent back the rights of people continue to what it looked like. I admit that writing this sentence shook me to my soul. They’re so motivated to make the most of my right to vote and no one can tell me different. I can not wait until November, we-we can not wait. That is why we are working to raise money for Vote.org that the nation is the leading platform voter engagement. Remember when Mulan came out? Or, if in the end Save a prince Elsa and Anna? I stood up and applauded in the theater when I saw it. He felt the women, even to look so good, it was just things on screen treatment. We do not need men to save us. We can not and we are not. To select bet this November. I vote for my rights, for my ancestors, for my future and for my daughter and all the other young women, especially those of color, do not currently have the opportunity to vote, but also do not have to wait for the luxury , until they vote on it have someone think.
