Our first speaker was Glenna S. Edwards. What do you remember most about her talk?
She shared things about her mom, how she was the first person in her family to graduate from college, what it was like to work in a male dominated field (aviation), relationships, decision making and achieving one of her dreams (to be a published author).
Please write your thoughts about what you heard that day. If you've seen the recorded version on local cable, has anyone else in your family watched it? What did they have to say?
Glenna,

I appreciate Glenna's honesty. I imagine it must have been a little scary standing up in front of all of us telling us about her life. I agree with Alyssa....Glennas is definitely a wise woman!
ReplyDeleteShe shared a lot of things in her life that felt bad or good to her.
ReplyDeleteYeah and Glenna speach touched my life so much i actually made my mom sit down and watch Glenna and i told her" mom you should watch this it might give u insperation in your life, so just sit and watch" i think she actually cryed
ReplyDeleteThank you for the positive comments. I was terrified when I wrote and gave the first wise women speech! My intent was to share from the heart, hoping that ladies could relate to some of my experiences. It felt dangerous to share a bunch of personal stuff, but I'm glad I did.
