"Young women today are growing up in an image-conscious world that is teaching them to care less about ‘making a difference’ and more about making their faces look different."

Author, Anne Daly.

For many girls, it’s hard to imagine themselves having a career; especially in non-traditional areas for women, such as Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM). Thanks in part to modern media; some girls believe that dancing, singing, being famous, marrying someone famous, or becoming a rich sensation; are the only options for success.

There are many ways to be successful, and there are many other types of success. STEM can offer girls another type of reward. They may not seem as flashy; but STEM jobs can create opportunities for girls to become important in their field of work, contribute to greater movements, invent new technology, discover new medicines, inspire others, and choose a career to help save people, animals or the world.

It is time for girls to rise ...
to let go the sandbags and dream BIG.


A young girl’s confidence in herself, and how she thinks society sees her, greatly affects how she imagines her future. If a girl has a positive vision of her future self, then she has a dream that can pull her along, and lift her over any difficulties she might encounter along the way.

As her legs and feet get bigger, obstacles will get smaller, and dreams will get closer. She could rise so high.

However, too many young women today feel the need to look ‘MIO’ (media’s idea of) pretty; spending much time, effort, and money trying to look ‘perfect.’ Girls have a right to help shape the world they are going to live in as adults; and they don’t need more influencers; they need more role models.
