Today is International Women’s Day where every woman should celebrate who
they are, how far they’ve come, and their lives in general. Whether you are a
student, a worker, a mother, anything, we should all take a few minutes out of
our day and pat ourselves on the back for being a great friend, or a top grading
student, or a workaholic who needs to slow down. Also, think about the women who
inspire you, whether it is your mum or your nan, or a famous artist like Lady
Gaga or Cheryl Cole.
This day is similar to Mother’s Day (18th March) where people give small
gifts to their wives, mothers, daughters and colleagues in celebration of their
being a woman. It is celebrated in over twenty countries. The official website
www.internationalwomensday.com has a lot of information about how far the woman
has come in society, including the history of International Women’s Day since
1917. The website even celebrates the fact that schoolgirls are now accepted
into university, and it is true. If we didn’t go to university, HerUni would not
exist! Therefore, all this writing would never have been published. How crazy is
that? We should be thankful for the changes in society that have shown that
women can do just as much as men (and sometimes do the better job!).
So girls, today, think about yourself as an amazing and inspiring woman, who
can change the world with your words, or your thoughts, or your love and
friendship. We all change someone’s life in some kind of way and we should
celebrate it!
