A strong woman is independ-
ent. Whether it is having to raise
six children on her own, or face
certain obstacles that come her
way, she still manages to come
out on top. Every woman can be a
strong woman in her own right.
No female is born this way, and it
is ones experiences that make
them who they are today. Any
woman that encompasses these
attributes will not only become a
well respected individual, but will
maintain a sense of empower-
ment. Here are a few women
around campus that display im-
portant qualities.
Ms. Go-girl: The go-getter
someone that knows what she
wants, and is ready to work hard
to obtain her goal. No matter
what comes her way she is pre-
pared to work as hard as she can
to reach her destination. (Saskia
Hamilton & Alejandra San-
tamaria) git
Ms. In-tune with Herself: She
recognizes her strengths and her
weaknesses. This is what makes
her even stronger, the fact that
she knows what her flaws are and
works to improve them and make
them better. (Davina Terry)
Ms. High Expectations: Having
high expectations is not a bad
thing, having high expectations
for yourself and the people you
choose to surround yourself with
will propel you to greater heights.
Have you ever heard of the saying
“show me your friends, and I’ll
tell you who you are?” (Myra
Vergara & Brenae Moechoe)
Ms. Open-minded: “never judge
a book by its cover”, although it
He went on to score 13 points,
six assists and eight rebounds. He
was selected again to be in the
2005-2006 NBA All-Star Game
where he scored 29 points, six re-
bounds, and two assists.
James would lead his Cava-
liers to the 2007 NBA finals
where he averaged 22.0 points,
seven rebounds and six assists.
For the postseason, James had av-
eraged 25.1 points, eight assists
and eight rebounds. James would
then go on to win the NBA All-
Star MVP award with a total of 27
points, eight rebounds, nine as-
sists, two blocks and two assists.
In. Beijing in
4 2008, James won a
gold medal with the
«rest of his USA
team, = beating
Spain 118 to 107.
More recently,
James scored

52 points in Madison Square Gar-
den on February 4, 2009. During
the 2009 NBA All Star Game in
Phoenix, Lebron told Cheryl
Miller that he would be a part of
the 2010 Slam Dunk Contest fol-
lowing the careers of both Mi-
chael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. On
February 20, James went on to
score his career high of 55 points
against the Milwaukee Bucks. It
will be interesting to see if James
decides to go to another team in
2010 because he becomes a free
agent during that time. :
Since Michael Jordan, there
has been two players that fans can
compare with him which are
Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. It
is probably too early to really
compare James to Jordan, but one
should not doubt his abilities on
the court. He has the skills to cre-
ate and recreate himself each and
every night.
is great to have high expectations
don’t let it dictate your judgment
on others. If there is one thing
that hurts people in the long run is
being stuck-up. Give people a
chance, you may never know, the
person who is nothing today may
be something tomorrow and help
you in the future.(Shani Patterson)
Ms. Cocky...Never That: “empty
barrels make the loudest noise”, a
strong woman doesn’t need to
broadcast her intelligence or her-
self. Instead she uses her talent
positively by helping others excel
in life, and doesn’t look down on
others. “A mind is a terrible thing
to waste”, use not only for your
butthose who neglect their health
for others sadly finish last.
(Shardae Wescott)
Ms. Confident: “Stick‘s and
stones may break my bones but
words will never hurt me” this is
definitely true for a woman that
loves herself inside and out. Con-
fidence is a damn good thing; we
need more confident women in
this world! (Imma Gary &
Jeanette Silverstein)
Every strong woman goes
through an obstacle in their life,
what makes them strong is that
they come out of it alive. A few
influential include Whitney Hous- |
ton, Brittany Spears, Oprah Win-
others. (Kathy Le)
Ms. Kindness Kindness is key
but not always. Although it is
great to help others, a strong
woman will never forget about
her well-being. Call it selfish,
Tina Marie, Tyra Banks, Jada
pinkett, Jennifer Hudson, Eleanor
Roosevelt, Evita Peron, Rosa
Parks, Michelle Obama, Mother
Theresa, and a shout out to all our
beautiful mothers.
