For Women’s History Month, we asked Yale students to reflect on their sources of inspiration.Jackie Honet ’19, Ezra Stiles CollegeWho is your role model/inspiration?When I think of my female inspirations, so many different women come to mind. However, overall, I think my “big sister” at Yale is my role model.What kind of inspiration/role model has this woman been in your own life?I always say to other people that she has been one of the best things that happened to me since coming to this campus, and I always introduce her not only as my mentor, but as just one of my best friends. She leads by example, but also pushes me and helps me grow and become a better person. She has taught me to be unapologetically myself and to venture outside of my comfort zone. She has shown me that it’s okay to have insecurities because everyone does, just so long as you don’t let them hinder you.Why should others know about this woman’s contribution?Perhaps her impact is less tangible because she influences people with her kindness and endless support, but she has a silent strength and has become such an important person for me on this campus and in my life. I admire and appreciate her endlessly, and I hope she knows how much she inspires me just by being herself. -- source link
