Kimberly Le Post # 2

India is a beautiful place, and i have only began to scratch the surface of this place. The people are soo friendly and nice and the food is amazing, but spicy. I miss meat though!

When I thought of the schools in India, I pictured modern institutions, and when we took the tour around the university, I realized I was wrong. Although the architecture had much shape and size to them. it's still in the process of being fixed up. I enjoyed most, visiting the trade school that was on campus because out of all the students in the program, less than 10 wer girls. I asked one of them how it feels to be around all these guys in the school, and what ebtter an answer to get than to hear, "I like it!" She said that the guys are really nice and they don't look at her differently just because she is a woman.

It seems like women everywhere are facing the same challenges, how to balance work, life, and family all at once, basically, be super woman. I don't know how I'm going to do it but the women that spoke today made it through and they're still alive, though all did emphasize that support from family helped.
