Now that's GIRL power!! This renews hope in our future leaders.

Something everyone should see. They say people remember 80 % of what they see and 20% of what they hear. Wouldn't it be wonderful if 80% of the people remembered 100% of this?? Some PROFOUND words from a teenager, she's got it absolutely right.

3. I wonder where she is today and how she feels about the state of the world?

A very impressive child. She held the attention of those in attendance. However, it is obvious, they didn't heed her words.

Shame on them...shame on us.
