Because I am a Girl I ask…all women everywhere to stick together and stand up for each other - “Sisters before Misters” gals!
Because I am a Girl I believe…in gender equality. In this day and age I strongly feel that women should have the confidence to stand shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts.
Because I am a Girl I hope…that someday I will inspire other girls.
Because I am a Girl I wonder…what amazing achievements are ahead for the female race. 2012 was a great year for women. Katie Taylor has inspired a nation, at a time when Ireland is struggling. Maybe a woman will lead the way for our country out of these economically troubling times.
Because I am a Girl I dream…of comfortable high heels!
Because I am a Girl I remember…all the advice given to me and try to live by it.
Because I am a Girl I like…to be girly. I don’t believe I need to act tough to get ahead.
Because I am a Girl I dislike…bitchiness. There’s no need to be nasty. Kill them with kindness is what I always say.
Because I am a Girl I feel…privileged for the opportunities I have been given. Grab everything with both hands cos it won’t come around twice!
Because I am a Girl I celebrate…creativity! I don’t believe in one uniform way to get things done. I’m a firm believer in having fun along the way!
