Women are a growing force in the business world and you can be a part of that. You can dream of a career, and know you can achieve it. You can feel the desire to make a difference and know that the opportunity is there. Opportunities exist for you that did not exist for our mothers and grandmothers. As the first Puerto Rican woman elected to Congress, I know what it means to have a dream, to work for it, and to achieve it.
Dreams do come true, but in dreams begin responsibility.
And your responsibility is to work to achieve your dream. Your first responsibility is to yourself. You must work hard in school and get a good education. You cannot hope to realize your dreams unless you have the skills and knowledge necessary to fulfill them. You must be ready to understand and use technology so you can access the information and compete in the job market.
