I still remember that day. Looking at the a of people, I wanted to run off the stage. But I dived into the speech I had practiced diligently, nervous but determined to make my voice heard.
It all started with my essay in respon to a radio host’s slanderous comments about women’s rights. After my boss refud it for publication, I submitted it to others, until finally I received a “YES!” from an online blog focud on women.
My story had thousands of views online. One of them invited me to speak at a grass-root gathering planned in Washington D．C．, I agreed hastily. Then reality sunk in. I was an
unemployed writer, needed to find gainful employment, not focus on a meeting hundreds of miles away. I fought with mylf, ready to reply with the reasons why I could not attend their gathering.
Still unsure of what to do, I called my kindergarten teacher. As always, her advice was what I needed. I was going to do this trip without spending a cent. I began contacting everyone I knew on the path from my hou to Washington D．C．, explaining that I needed a ride. I t up a website for my “Road Trip for Rights.” Small donations for my trip started rolling in.
Armed only with my computer, phone and a backpack of esntials, I began my adventure. On my way, a woman who had been watching on the website pulled up. She and her daughter were heading to the gathering and went a long way round to pick me. After arrival, she dropped me off at my hotel, and I finally relaxed before the big day.
Upon returning to my hotel after the most amazing day, I received an envelope with my name on it. Inside were a train ticket and a note that read, “Thank you for being a voice fo
r tho of us who cannot speak.” I boarded the train, grateful and exhausted.鸡蛋壳手工作品
