Women from the University of Alabama get together for the She Leads Conference with a greater purpose in mind: to make an impact.
With seven different speakers, the conference brought together students from different backgrounds and life views to inspire young woman on campus to be out there and make a difference in their community.
But why should we?
Here are 7 reasons why you should get out there for a change:
1. You create your own future
2. Netflix won't run away
4. Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
As the former Dr. Seuss would say, "Oh the place's you'll go." Show others what you can bring to the table.
5. There is still work to be done
Women need better representation in politics. According to the Center for American Women and Politics, they make up 19 percent of Congress, yet 51 percent of our population.
6. Believe in yourself
Great people achieve great things; don't let rejection stop you from getting where you want to be. Also, don't forget to ask yourself what would Eleanor Roosevelt do.
7. Be the change you want to see in the world
Be kind, be genuine and be honest. Show them what makes you who you are and do not give up.
Get out of your comfort zone, nobody is meant to be on the sidelines.
