She is Captain America, not Miss America.



Making a difference: Raena Lamont, 3, wears a Captain America costume at a polling center doubling as a donation site in the Staten Island borough of New York City

No Stereotypes, No Boundaries, No Restrictions. This little girl can be whoever she wishes to be. It is her right to dream, her right to fulfill those dreams. In doing so she can soar!

Sweet dreams, Raena. For now be Captain America, a superhero.

.................................

Obama gave her that dream, Hillary will now see it through. Both fierce advocates of women. Raena can be anyone she wants to be. Women and girls are rising. We are.

Yes, this is a repost. It is as appropriate now as then.

got married instead. Not because she had too but because she was in love. Then the Superintendent of the school asked her to substitute teach and she took him up on that. Then came the GED, then 4 years of college to get a teachers certificate. Followed by a masters degree in Education and finally on to her doctorate. Taught advanced math for years and retired, then was offered the assistant superintendent job which she came out of retirement for, Retired again after a few years of that and then was rehired as assistant Principle and did that for a few years then retired again. This year she is back in the classroom teaching a new class that is a combination of Civics/Home ec. Just can't quiet get away from the classroom

This would be my kid sister, two years my junior.

The most important person in a mans life is Woman. I truly believe that with all my heart.

Peace
