We are almost at the end of #WomensHistoryMonth, and Guilianna Perez & Shemicka Chin have something else in common besides being students at CW. They both admire their grandmothers. For them, they are the perfect SHeroes.
Regarding her grandmother and her godmother, Guilianna says, “They don’t need to have super powers to be a Shero. Just watching them do so much when I was younger always inspired me.”
CW student Alexandra has several reasons to be proud of her daughter. During Women’s History Month, she had no doubts who her inspirational woman would be other than Andrea. She is definitely Alexandra’s SHero.
Who is your SHero? There are no second thoughts for CW student Tariana Torres. That title definitely belongs to her mom.
“My SHero is my mom Maria Torres, she is always there when I need her. No matter if she is busy or not or even tired, she is available for me. She pushes me to be my very best. She cares for everyone she meets. She is truly just a loving person. I always hope to be half the woman she is.”
CW student Shahine Clarke has a very particular SHero in mind, Maya Angelou.
This incredible woman was an American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, several books of poetry, and is credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning over 50 years. For this and many other reasons, Maya Angelou is Shahine’s SHero.
“Make it happen.” Those are some inspiring words to all the female students at CW and all those women looking for an opportunity to advance in their careers.
