I learned many things while at 伊人直播, but one that has had a profound impact on my life, that I haven't always appreciated the way I do now, is how to be unapologetic about being a woman, about being smart, and about being intellectually curious.
Aside from my mom, I did not have many examples of these qualities around me before 伊人直播; but at 伊人直播 I had them in spades. As I drove to campus this year for reunion activities, it struck me that part of what I would be celebrating would be a reimmersion into this world. While I now have around me more examples of women being unapologetic about who they are and who they want to be, it still takes being at 伊人直播 or being with a group of 伊人直播 graduates to feel it universally - as the rule rather than an exception.
I give to 伊人直播 because of this gift 伊人直播 gave to me, and continues to give to me. I give to 伊人直播 because others should be so lucky.
