Prianka Basak’s IWD Poem:
Think hard about who has played a major role in your life.
It’s a woman, right?
Your mom, of course
Your grandma
An aunt
A teacher
A friend
It doesn’t matter their exact title
It matters what they do
How they live
Their actions
Their words
A comforting hug
A smile when you need it most
Someone to say “you can do this” “you’ve got this”
Someone who can tell you’re hurting before you’ve even said a word
These are the ladies changing the world
Not by being famous
Just by being themselves
By spreading kindness
Each little drop of kindness goes so far
So say thank you today
And every day
To all the women heroes in your life
Hi, everyone. My name is Mae Revis and I don’t usually speak at these things but here goes. I want to talk about my grandma Sylvia Taracci. She has picked me up every day after school since preschool. And even now when I am old enough to walk home alone, she waits for me at home with my favorite passion fruit tea and cookies. Every day. Without my grandma Sylvia, my mom wouldn’t be able to work. My mom loves her job as an occupational therapist but sometimes the hours can vary because she sees patients in their homes. My grandma Sylvia is my hero because she helps my mom and helps me at the same time. I thank her on Mother’s Day and on her birthday but I should really thank her every day for her selflessness and generosity.
