She's flying on her feet and her lungs burn, but she doesn't notice, chasing some ball with everything she has. She saw her on TV, or in a magazine, a World Cup soccer match, or a WNBA game. It's all there in the back of her mind, proud to be what she is, determined to become that young woman. Here is a girl child. There are mountains in front of her, so many different things she's bound to face.

But she has her strength. She has her pride. She holds her head high and she pushes her shoulders back, because she knows the woman she wants to become, proud to be strong. All rights reserved. Privacy Policy and Terms of Use are applicable to this site.
