I find myself torn. Torn between not paying for dinner and getting equal pay. As most of you know I am in high school. As none of you know, I am taking a little class called welding. It started off as a filler class since my schedule was practically empty and now I am totally into it. The majority of the class are boys. I am one of the only 2 girls in the whole class of 20. Being a girl and looking and acting as I do, you can pretty much guess the reaction I get from informing people of my latest endeavor. Before I entered the class I received a "You Understand that we weld here and get dirty " only to respond that I was aware of all this which is the reason I requested this class. Of coarse, me having a Tina Fey complex, I didn't blame him Its been a semester in and I had been getting the hang of it, until I realized the boys were doing all of the heavy lifting for me. Do I honestly look that helpless? They are great guys and sweet for helping, but I bet dollars to donuts if I was a guy, none of this would be happening. Now while I love having the door open for me, being able to vote is a right I am not willing to give up. So I pose the question, Can we all seriously be equal in every aspect of life? Can we honestly give up everything we have grown accustomed to? The pulling out of the chairs, and the holding of the doors, and the holding in their farts until they are with their friends. I don't know about the ladies, but I like my air toxic free. So I find myself torn between not having to do the yard work and being told I belong in the kitchen, between being independent and having someone around the house that can open a pickle jar. I don't know if it will ever be possible for a girl like me to walk into an Auto Shop without everyone looking at me differently, but I can make sure that I will be prepared enough to answer them correctly when they ask me about my car.
Until next time, don't forget to comment and come again soon.
Yours truly,
