Week 3: Connector
I have been loving this book so far! It always puts me in a good mood and I can find a lot of things that Tina Fey and I have in common (which makes me happy because she's Tina Fey). I can relate to the chapter A Childhood Dream, Realized because I have gone through similar processes. Because - like Fey - I am an actor, I have to put myself out there and be my own advocate. Especially for college auditions, I flew halfway across the country to audition, similar to what Fey had to do when she flew to New York to interview for Saturday Night Live. But more than this, I think that all women can relate because often times, we have to be our own cheerleaders and our own agents and managers and producers and be productive and tenacious. Not only can women relate to this, but I think that all women can learn from this - that you have to go after what you want, fight for what you want, and work as hard and be as fearless as possible to get where you want to be.

I completely agree. I am seeing that in this age, women are relying on themselves to get things done and don't take much from others, even when it is offered. Women are learning that they can stand up for their own lives and families, which is pretty empowering if you ask me. I'd rather be out doing what I think is right rather than serving a man at home and being the primary caretaker of children.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with this. Whatever field you are in, you are going to face opposition from yourself and others. Every hobby and job have some sort of competition and sometimes it's harder to take than others. You have to become your own cheerleader at time, for sure. As your own harshest critic, it is important than you give yourself a break sometimes.
