Tomorrow marks International Women’s Day!
International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
When Sophia Clark was on the Europe Business and Law program, she met Julie who she considers an influential woman in her life. Julie, a Syrian refugee, fled her country in the hope to create a better life and touched Sophia’s heart.
“She explained to me how she doesn't know if she will ever see her family again in this life. Besides the heavy conversation this was, she spoke with such aspiration that everything she is doing for them. What touched me the most was her overall presence while speaking: calm, optimistic, and real,” Sophia says.
Sophia ends by saying: “I strive to be like Julie, and I hope to someday influence those like she has me.”
We are so grateful for Sophia’s story. Tell us in the comments someone you consider an influential woman in your life.
