Well I thought the guest speaker last week was very interesting speaker. She was a very kind individual and her job was very interesting of course as she and her husband worked in the Foreighn Services. I like how she spoke about her journey throughout life for example when she live in Saudi Arabiam, India, Jersulam etc. Well when she was talking about girls not being allowed to go to school and how boys were only allowed was very interesting because I never knew that and I learned something new. Thanks to the Kings wife that girls started to go to school at 1956 depending on there families. What she was saying was somewhat relating to the presentation, about the fact how women are still not somewhat allowed to go to school, all depending on there parents now, where else earliar it all depended on the government or more likely the Taliban in Afghanistan. I could really relate with everything she was saying. I like that fact that she stated which place she liked better then the other, for example she said she liked India because the women were very inspiring compared to all the women she had met, also how the city Bombay was like New York and how New Delhi was like Washington D.C. Something that was interesting was when she said that the women from other countries said that they precieved the women in U.S. as sex objects, which really got me thinking with all these cars ads like she metioned herself and many more. I am glad that she was one of our guest speaker because she had a lot of interesting stories that she told us about. She rocked!
