There is no force on Earth stronger than a woman determined to rise.

Poetry On Odyssey: "No Force On Earth"
Camden Tang

There is no force on Earth stronger than a woman.
In a society of sexism and prejudice,
She will stand tall and proud.
You can take away her rights.
You can take away her voice.
You can take away her freedom.
But you will never take away her resilience.
She will persist.
She will brave the toughest storms
And dodge threats and insults like they are bullets.
In the face of oppression, she will fight and succeed
And she will declare triumphantly,
“I am here to stay.”
For there is no force on Earth stronger than a woman determined to rise.

There is no force on Earth stronger than a woman.
In a society of hatred and chaos,
She will stand tall and proud.
Through others may mock and laugh and ridicule,
She will be living proof of goodness and love.
Some may doubt her.
Some may misunderstand her.
Some may hurt her.
But all to no avail.
She will persist.
She is a warrior, fierce and ferocious.
A lover and fighter, she will fight for what she loves.
In the face of adversary, she will prevail despite all odds
And she will declare triumphantly,
“You cannot break me.”
For there is no force on Earth stronger than a woman determined to rise.


A poem dedicated to my strong and independent sisters of Sigma Psi Zeta. Never back down and never stop fighting, ladies.

“Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.” – Unknown

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
