Brave Girls

I love her opening story - what a great way to talk about courage and trying something new. As a father of a daughter, this really hits home for me. I want my daughter to be confident and willing to try new experiences. I hope that I have encouraged her to try adventure, and trust in herself. I hope the same for all of you.

  1. I really like how she believed in her self and had self confidence in her and her friend and no matter who believed in her they did there best and tried to complete the 12 mile crawl but fell short at only 8 miles even tho her friend dropped out she kept strong and did her best i like how she points out that ("Girls are fearful and boys are gutsy") this message really spoke to me to always try my best and to give %100 all the time and to always have my friends back for support but to know that i don't need them to have my back because i can survive and do my best and go fourth and try to complete my battles

  2. I think the message was very inspirational. It really makes me think that girls aren't timid or fragile at all. Crawling for 8 miles definitely isn't easy. When her friend dropped out, she kept going on, even if she was in pain. I also learned that girls should be out there, doing the same jobs as boys can do, because she proves that we can do anything that the boys do, as she said in her firefighter story. I think I can go out there and do my best at everything I do, and not be timid about it.

  3. This is so inspirational i will try my best to never think that i cant do anything. This makes me believe in myself more and to have good thoughts about everything i do. That is so good that she overcame her self confidence and believed in herself.

  4. This story is inspirational and encourages me to be more courageous and believe i myself more. This woman endured actual pain and saw tragic things during her experiences as a firefighter and she still continues to live on and be the brave and beautiful woman she is today. It also helps support the fact that women can do anything that men can do and it makes me happy that she never believed any of the stereotypes of today.

  5. I think this message is very inspirational and encourages women to be more courageous and not to let anyone else let you think you that you are less of a person than a man. This women showed courageous by being in actual pain. She saw tragic scenes happen right in front of her eyes. From being a firefighter, to being a pilot to crawling on her knees till they bleed. She still continues to strive to be a brave women today. It encourages me to be more courageous in a good way. To believe in myself more. Women can do anything men can do if they just believe in themselves that they can do it.

  6. I like this story because, I think this is very true. Boys are treated as they are emotionally and physically stronger. I'm supposed to more careful, then my brothers. I think how she tells us to be fearful, but to also have some fear because fear is there to keep us safe.

  7. I like how she says she didn't fail she may not have completed what she was aiming for but she showed confidence and also she stepped outside of her comfort zone. I like how she said that she got up and grabbed the hose. Some people think girls are not near as capable of doing things as good or at all. I think people have started stereotypes they girls need to be careful and that they are so much weaker. I agree that it sends out a message that boys need to not show emotion and be stronger and more brave then girls. I think that girls in society are meant to to feel that girls feel like they aren't as strong or brave and they should just accept that. I think its great to step out side of your comfort zone and be confident in yourself. I think that she is right on the tell your kids to not be afraid to get a little hurt or to do something kind of scary.

  8. this is so powerful. a lot of girls feel like they can't do something because of their gender. Some of that is because guys also say that they can't do it because they girls. It was great when she said she never failed. Its just that she didn't meet her expectations.
