Today is the International Day of The Girl Child, and it is all about girls.
Yes, girls, girls, girls. Girl power, girls winning, girls leading, girls becoming and girls inspiring the world.
I am a girl and I have a girl in my life now. She came into my world 2 years ago and she has the most amazing smile.
Her presence can never go unnoticed, she is full of energy and her laughter is infectious. She is my daughter and a girl who is just learning about the world.
I am girl who seeks knowledge and always searches for inspiration. I am a girl, I am a mother, my life and values can either make or break the generation after me.
Every girl needs some inspiration. Inspiration to live, to give and to become. Every little girl is special and she needs to hear it. That little girl needs to know how valuable and priceless she is.
Every girl needs some inspiration. Inspiration to dream, to believe and to achieve. Every little girl needs to know that she can achieve her dreams. That little girl needs some courage and faith in those wings to fly.
Every girl needs some inspiration. Inspiration to love and to lead. She must learn to love herself. She must appreciate her uniqueness. Teach her that her self-worth must never be thrown to the dogs. Teach her that her life can become a pathway that can lead many to greatness.
Every needs girl some inspiration. Inspiration from people, places and stories. She needs a mother who will model values like integrity, humility, discipline, hard-work, honesty love, courage and faith to her.
She must also learn to travel the world with her imagination, by reading good books and growing a deep hunger for knowledge.
Every girl needs good education. Empower her. Support her. Encourage her.
