This story did a great job of showing people that there are so many things out there that they don't know about. For example she talks about how when she visited black and Hispanic churches in Chicago, they knew so much about the civil right movement, when it was just something she had kind of heard about. I feel like by living in Vermillion for most of my life it has made me very sheltered. That's why I hope to get out of the town for awhile and maybe travel or just do something so I can really see the world and learn knew things.
I also like they part about how she encountered situations in her life when she was held back because she was a girl. Even though these are different times and equality between men and women has gotten much better there are still time that people make me feel like I can't do something because I am a girl. But that doesn't matter because it does not stop me from trying!!
