Copeland And Hilary Rodham Clinton: A Comparative Analysis

Improved Essays
Misty Copeland and Hilary Rodham Clinton, though the two are worlds apart, I find similarities between the pair that I admire. They are trailblazers, having the courage to be symbols of strength and continue to grow in their fields.
Clinton is a political force that has been in some kind of government role over the past four decades. HRC is most commonly known at the moment for being the wife of former president Bill Clinton and for her stabs at presidency. Misty Copeland is a renowned ballerina and principal dancer for American Ballet Theater. She burst into the mainstream spotlight in recent years joining artist Prince on tour in 2009, and for her campaign with athletic brand Under Armour in 2014.
The two women had completely different upbringings.
