With Women’s History Month in full swing, I was brought back to an event I recently attended.
I spent an afternoon with my daughter’s gifted and talented program listening to children perform as their favorite genius. Many of the students were representing historical women in history, to include my daughter. She chose Marie Curie. Each child dressed up as the historical figure and shared a short speech to share what they believed was important about the person.
As I walked from student to student, I felt like I was in a museum, pressing a button to learn about history. One remarkable student brought a button for people to press. It was a fulfilling experience to learn about historical figures and to have the opportunity to mentor others.
