As a child, I was often told by my brothers and father that a woman could never hold the presidency. They claimed women were too emotional, too erratic, and too uninformed. However, my mother was the true pillar of our family. She was the one who held everything together when my father faced legal troubles, the one who ensured that her children went to college, despite her own educational limitations. Each time my father inflicted harm, she rose with dignity, doing what needed to be done.
I dedicated myself to surpassing my brothers’ impressive academic achievements. I aimed for the highest grades, the best test scores, and secured a scholarship to a top university. Still, no matter what I achieved, they never respected my efforts. To this day, they refuse to acknowledge that a woman can be an effective leader.
On Tuesday, I will wear white with pride. I will likely shed tears when I cast my vote for the most qualified candidate—a woman. When Secretary Clinton is sworn in this coming January, I will feel immense relief and joy, knowing that my long-held belief has become a reality.
Most importantly, I will rejoice that my daughter will grow up in a world where the possibility of becoming president isn’t just a fanciful notion dismissed by others. She will have a genuine role model—a president who mirrors her. My daughter will understand that anything is within her reach.
I am absolutely with her!
