My name is Alina Mehvesh Din.
I am a Muslim,
a sister,
a daughter,
a student,
an activist,
a future policy maker.
Here is my vision for the world:
When 10,000 girls are empowered...
When 10,000 girls are change-agents...
When 10,000 girls are at choice instead of at risk...
The world will be safe.
When 10,000 girls are problem-solvers...
When 10,000 girls give themselves more respect...
When 10,000 girls find and use their voices...
There will be more Barbara Walters, More Marie Curies, and More Janet Napolitanos.
When 10,000 girls believe in themselves...
When 10,000 girls step out of their comfort zones...
When 10,000 girls surpass their role models...
There will be more love.
When 10,000 girls aspire to excellence…
When 10,000 girls have a vision…
When 10,000 girls have a powerful self-image...
There will be a women president When 10,000 girls are more informed… When 10,000 girls inspire themselves and those around them… When 10,000 girls chase their dreams… The world will never be the same.
I love it, Alina! I should print it out and put it on my dorm room wall. :)
