This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Scranton chapter.

To be a woman: 

 

It means to show strength at times of doubt.

 

To show peace in moments of frenzy.

 

It means to be more than just someone’s wife, daughter or mother.

 

To fight for what I believe in.

 

It means to have the ability to give life or decide not to.

 

To have the ability to defend myself and others.

 

To show independence and confidence.

 

I have the ability to love myself as I am.

 

It means making those who came before me proud and inspire those who will come after me.

From Bogota, Colombia with love.
