When I think I can’t make it in a man’s world, Rosie the Riveter tells me something else.
College isn’t a time filler for me. I have worked hard since I was a freshman in high school to be here. I never took no for an answer and I don’t plan on doing so anytime soon.
I aspire to be a journalist after graduating in the Spring of 2014, but not just any kind of journalist. I want to create change and ignite a fire in the political world that can’t be stopped. I can honestly say that female role models, such as Rosie the Riveter, have gotten me to this place and will push me along until I achieve my dreams.
I’m not the only woman who needs a positive, strong and determined role model, though.
In honor of International Women’s Day today, women all over the world should recognize the need to have positive female role models and to be a positive role model for younger women. Good role models carry attributes that women can strive to achieve for themselves.

Sarah Palin, though controversial, reaffirmed what I already held to be important in my life. She says exactly what she thinks and stands by her beliefs. She might create controversy with her words, but the fact that she stands behind her family and her beliefs while in the public eye is something I pray I can continue to do in my own life. I believe that no matter your values, you should never back down from stating and supporting them....

Figured she was a standard lib journo student until I got to the part about Sarah Palin.
Still comes off as a moron. Every time I read stuff from a high school or college student I feel sorry for the future of this country.
She thinks the job of a journalist is to incite change??
She think Rosie the Riveter is a role model? Is she going to be a welder with a husband in the army?
I have read that Rosie the Riverter was a bit of a disaster, and didn’t live up to the propaganda image.
Left or Right, that's the problem. It isn't supposed to be the role of a journalist to create change, it is to report the facts. If you want to ignite a fire in the political world, then enter the political world and work for a party or candidate, and eventually become a candidate yourself.
If you want to be a journalist, then dig for the truth and tell it like it is, no matter where the trail eventually leads.
So, true. The role of journalism is always to get to the truth.
Our US press has dumped “truth” for a 100 years-—when JP Morgan got control over news outlets. We were “brainwashed” to think American news was different than Stalin’s or Goebbels when it was worse and destroyed great people who were fighting the Communist/Satanic takeover.

My daughter went to Purdue.
There are pockets of hope there, especially in comparison to most other universities.
With Mitch Daniels at the helm, I expect more good things to come.
Boiler Up!
I would suggest that you not buy into all the leftist propaganda that they are willing to feed you.
Rosie the riverter was and is, a very important figure and myth for the left and they used to to break up the home.
By the way, what is the myth? Is it that out of desperation we used inferior workers in the factories to replace the highly effective males, or that somehow the inexperienced, weaker, less skilled, females, proved to be the equal or superior to them men?
My mom put together P-38s while my dad was in the South Pacific. My mom always said the dwarfs had the hardest jobs of installing the nose cannons.
