I Am

I am a female. I am a female with rights. I am a female who has access to an education. I am a female who lives in America. In America, I have the same rights as a man.

I just arrived home after being at a conference for teachers for several days. It was a great conference in general but for me, it was gut wrenching because I learned a few things that I was not expecting to learn. I am invisible in the eyes of most Americans.

I learned this information via text and then from intermittent news coverage and comments from my…
