The position for the SRC (student Representative Council) Chairperson, Deputy-Chairperson and other Executive positions were up for contest. The only persons that opted and began campaign for the position of the Chairperson's position were all male and the females opted for the position of the Deputy-chairperson and other lower positions.
NOTE: there was no restrictions as to what gender can via for any of the positions.
At the interview, all persons (Males) interested in the chairperson's position failed the interview except one person. The election was postponed to a later date to give another opportunity for new applicants since the only candidate left could not go unopposed.
The females began to nominate new male candidates and exempted themself. On noticing this, the Director of Academics said:
"Please Ladies rise up and apply for the
Position, it isn't meant nor restricted to
The males alone. We have never had a
Female student representative council
Chairperson before, I Will be glad if this
Record can be broken"
He didn't land his statement when the females began to rebel and respond negatively towards the statement, like he just blasted a bomb. They saw the impossibility of a woman handling such task.
My question is this? Do we think there are actually certain responsibilities and achievements we are restricted from? Of course my answer is NO!!!! we can do much more better if only we attempt.
Everyone has its area of specialization but we have allowed inferiority complex to demean us and fill our heads with the thought that we can't but YES, WE CAN.
As a woman, if you have the passion for anything, please go for it. Yes, people will try to talk you down or out and make you see reasons why you shouldn't, but just know that, your dream is yours and your achievements are yours too but let everyone partake from the benefits.
-you want to be a doctor? SURE, YOU CAN! don't let the tales of blood discourage you.
-you're interested in Law? OF COURSE! YOU CAN!
-you're interested in politics? YES, YOU CAN lead better than the person you're looking up to.
-you're interested in Engineering? Get down with it, you can do better.
-you're a motivational speaker? Do it with boldness and don't let the audience scare you with their faces.
-you love teaching? Go out there and produce better breed with what you can offer...
The list is endless, Everyman should support a woman achieve her goals, give them the chance to equally try out things they feel they can't do and you will discover, we are better than we can even imagine. NO ONE WAS EVER CREATED USELESS. WE ALL HAVE USEFUL PARTS TO PLAY IN EACH OTHERS LIVES.
THANKS FOR READING AND SUPPORTING.
