Tomorrow, March 8th, is celebrated as International Women's Day. According to www.internationalwomensday.com, "International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated annually on March 8, honors the achievements of women across all aspects of life - social, economic, cultural, and political - while also advocating for gender equality." In honor of this, I want to celebrate two of the many women who have made an impact in my life. First, is my mom, Marcia. She has been an integral part of my life. She always pushed me to try new things, whether I wanted to or not, most times not; and these are some of the pieces of my life I am most proud of. She worked extremely hard to give me the best life she could. Her perseverance and strength have shown me what it means to work hard and help people in any way possible. Second, is my grandma, Margaret. She passed just about a year ago. She was the matriarch of our family and did everything she could to show all of us that she loved us. When I was younger, we did not always get along, but as I matured, I came to understand what she meant to me and to my family. I love you both. Happy International Women's Day. Jesus loves you!
