A very dear sistergirlfriend send me an email with five lessons. I have heard many of them before, but they are worth reading again and definitely fit for sharing. I will share one lesson a day this week. Enjoy!
First Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the Cleaning woman several times. She was tall, Dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question Blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if The last question would count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely, " said the professor. "In your careers, You will meet many people. All are significant... They Deserve your attention and care, even if all you do Is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson.. I also learned her Name was Dorothy.
For a very long time, no one told African American women that they could fly, so there are very few of them as commercial pilots. This website is for inspiring women to fly. Flying being defined as succeeding. Succeeding defined however you decide. We are simply here to tell you sistergirlfriend, YOU CAN FLY!
