I Love Surprises - Champagne

If You're Beautiful, You're Led To Believe That You Can't Also Be Smart.

People Talk About 'getting Rid Of The Old Image', And I Guess There's Some Merit In That. But The Truth Is That People Loved 'the Wonder Years' - I Can't Turn My Back On It.

There Are Stereotypes That Have Been Out There For A Long Time That Tell Girls That Their Main Asset, The Main Thing That They Are Valued For, Is Their Appearance And Also That It's To The Exclusion Of Anything Else.

When Girls Are Asking Themselves 'who Am I?' For The First Time And They Hear All This Bad Pr About Math, They Think, 'well, Whoever I Am, I'm Not Somebody Who Likes Math.'

I Tell Students That Even If They Don't Like Math Right Now, They Can Use Math As A Brain-sharpening Tool - A Tool That Not Only Builds The Foundation For A Great Career, But That Also Builds Self-confidence, No Matter What They Choose To Do With Their Lives.
