Being a girl.

I don't think that at anytime anyone should ever be able to say, "you know, you just don't expect that from a girl."

The word Girl shouldn't be be used as a limitation.

We are now at a place where we shouldn't have to fall back on gender specific roles.
A Girl can wear dresses, get dirty, play with bugs, have a collection of barbies, want to be a police officer and a mom when she grows up.
A person can't be labeled by what the world thinks a girls', or boys' role should be.

Women have pushed through many stereotypes and restrictions.
But obviously there are still more to get rid of.

When someone tells me that catching and saving a spider isn't "something you expect from a girl", I feel like there is something wrong with that.

Sure men a women have equal rights, in North American anyways, but there is still a gap that needs to be bridged.

I am proud to play in the mud, pick up spiders, have my stuffed animals lined up on my bed, love purple and be a girl.

I don't think anyone should ever 'not expect' something from me.
I am who I am, and I will continue to change and break rules for as long as I'm able.
