What It Means To Be a Woman/mHolland

I was up at 8 am one morning knowing over break I would have a paper to write . I was online and could see my moms screen name was on .I said to myself wow my mother would be a really interesting woman to ask these questions, I have been assigned she had no response to my hello. My sister soon had signed online and I knew right then she was the perfect one for this paper I had to write up. So I began asking…

What does it mean for you to be a woman? “Being a woman to me means that I have made it through childhood my teenage years which are tough ones for girls. Also it means that I have developed into a woman who is ready to take on the world. I feel that it also means that one day I will be able to mother my own children, which is one of a few things woman can do in which men can’t.

How do you define a Woman? “The female human being, one who by nature possesses kind, caring, gentle, characteristics, motherly, sympathetic and supportive Also in the recent, I believe 50 years, women have really moved up when it comes to overall job quality, which we suffered with in the past. We now see some female CEO’s, Doctors and lawyers.

Recently I went to watch surgeries and was the only woman in all of the operating rooms. All the doctors, nurses and surgical technicians (males), were constantly telling me this is where all the girls pass out and cant handle it. I thought to myself “well you know what I am going to prove all of the men that I can hang with them.” Every couple minutes one of the men would say something that I feel would increase the chances of getting sick in the OR. I remember one man saying “what about the smell the sounds” I continued to tell them that I was fine. I proved to the entire male staff and myself during the first and second day in the OR and was asked to scrub in, put gloves, coat on and hold tools and assist the surgeries. Standing up for ones self is a challenging one for females, I feel during this event I stood up for myself and proved that I could participate in the same job surroundings as males.

Doing this interview on instant messenger at 8 in the morning I learned many things I have never known about my sister and her strengths as a woman . I realized myself we both have changed a lot over the past years and for the better at that. I realized that we are adults now and we are the ones now sculpting our own future.
