Chloe Lukasiak

There are different kinds of role models...
We have talked about echologic or activicts role models but we haven't talked about role models for the athletes.
The first one we'll talk about is for dancers.
Chloe Lukasiak was part of dance moms since season 1 to 4, she left because instead of empowering her, miss Abby Miller was stopping her talent.
Now Chloe is succeding in the dance world without being part of a reality show. She is a talented girl, but the most important thing is that she works for what she wants.
She is a famous girl, and she uses that fame to encourage young girls to be real and hard working.

I know there are other dancers that are more famous. But for the HEROES OF TODAY team: Chloe Lukasiak is our choice as a heroe for dancers.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

Firs of all: happy international women's day to all those amazing females out there!
Now, this is a nice date for males to remember how amazing women are. But it is also a date for us, women, to remember how cool WE are, and how far we've come. There is a long long way to go. There are places where women are not treated as equals and we know it, but we are closer everyday.

Now, inspirational quotes from those amazing human beings that are women.

 “I am from Britain and think it is right that as a woman I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my country. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men.” — Emma Watson

“Honor your daughters. They are honorable.” — Malala Yousafzai

“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.” — Jane Austen

"I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life."—Oprah Winfrey

"I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass."— Maya Angelou

"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."— J. K. Rowling.

Do you know another quote??

MALALA

We all know her. But we thought: how can we have a young heroes related blog and not talk about Malala?
So here it goes.
Malala Yousafzai is a student of 9th grade who was shot in the head in 2012 just because she was struggling for her education in her valley Swat. She was recovered in the United Kingdom, and now she is campaigning worldwide for girls education & rights. She was given Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.
Malala is a true inspiration for us. Why? Because she showed people that we, teenagers, young people, have the power to make a change.
Raise your voice, don't take what they give you but what you deserve. Nothing less.
Don't take anything for granted because there are people who can't do the things you take as regular activities, like going to school for example.
If you want something, fight for it.
Are you afraid? We all are.
Don't you all think she was afraid? Of course she was. But she believed in herself and took the decision of doing something about it.
Fear stop us. Don't listen to your fears.
How many of you feel inspired by this powerful young woman?

One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.

Malala Yousafzai.
