I hope they come away seeing they can do anything and be anything and that they need to prepare for their future. I hope they see math and science and technology careers are real options -- and I hope they have an idea of what they want to do and be when they grow up. |
I want these girls to take away (from the conference) that they can be anything. They can do anything. I want them to consider all of their options and have them recognize the reality that they will be in the paid work force. . . . If family is a major priority, I want them to know what they need to do to be prepared for whatever happens. |
The only person who can guarantee your life is you. You never know if your husband is going to die, lose his job, become disabled; we want these girls to be prepared for whatever life brings them so they can have productive lives. |
