I was going though my phone early this morning and I saw a contest question asked by @trucklife-family"Giving back is important. With that in mind, how do you support the other women in your life?", it dragged me back to my high school days.
My high school days are still fresh in my memory. One particular afternoon stands out in my memory .The classroom was buzzing with our normal pre-class discussion when our teacher then Mrs peter stepped in and wrote the topic on the board: "Supporting Each Other: Why It Matters." The room fell silent, and I could feel the subject's weight settle over us. It was a topic that made me to think hard about how I interacted with the ladies around me.
I had always appreciated and loved the women in my life ever since I came to the planet earth, including my mother, sisters, and friends. They were strong, wonderful and extremely supportive. However, as I looked about at my classmates, I realised that not everyone had the same circle of support. Some girls were suffering with their confidence, others were dealing with expectations that appeared to kill their dreams and other also where dealing with various family problems. This class conversation encouraged me to truly consider how I could make a difference in their lives.
WOMEN ARE NOT WEAKER SEX, THEY ARE JUST THE STRONG SEX WITH A WEAKER PHYSICAL STRUCTURE
My personal journey of support for women began in high school, but it wasn't until my senior year that I realised how important it is. I participated in a student-led project that aimed to mentor younger pupils. I saw that many of the girls, particularly those who were new to our school, lacked confidence to fully participate in class or extracurricular activities. I chose to play a more active role in their lives.
One standout example is when Emily, a shy sophomore, indicated an interest in joining the debate team but was too afraid to try out. I remembered how difficult it was for me to go outside of my comfort zone when I initially started.i took it as a work to help her with her fears.So I contacted Emily and offered to practise with her after class. We spent hours practicing argument methods, talking about various topics, and boosting her confidence. Emily gradually blossomed. By the conclusion of the semester, she had not only joined the team, but also received an award for her performance.
Supporting other women is more than just one-time gestures; it needs an ongoing commitment. It meant being a trusted friend, listening when necessary, and providing helpful critique. I discovered that true support entails celebrating successes and offering encouragement at difficult times.
Beyond individual acts of kindness, I believe in establishing spaces for women to empower one another collectively. I've started a number of group activities, such as study groups and workshops, where women can share their experiences, learn from one another, and build each other up. These gatherings frequently serve as a forum for discussing difficulties and devising solutions to tackle them collectively.
Reflecting on my high school experience, I realise that helping other women means more than just making a difference in their life; it also means producing a positive ripple effect. By providing assistance, we create stronger, more confident individuals who are encouraged to assist others. It's an empowerment cycle with the ability to influence not only our local circles, but the entire community.
