You Go Girl!

Our next door neighbor's oldest daughter Maggie, is ten years old. This past fall her school offered flag football tryouts for the the first time. She and her girlfriends all thought it would be fun to tryout. Well, when Maggie showed up at tryouts the next day with her dad she found that none of her girlfriends showed up...she was the only girl there. Totally beside herself, she wanted to go home. Her dad kept encouraging her to stay and try out anyway, but she just didn't feel comfortable. Finally - her dad called her mom (who is a corporate lawyer) and told her the situation and she responded "Please put Maggie on the phone. I want to talk to her." Maggie's mom tried to talk her into at least trying out anyway and then deciding whether or not she would want to be on the team...but she needed to at least try out. Maggie was still unsure. Alas, Maggie's mom said "Look Maggie, do you think when I walk into a conference room of twenty five attorneys and I am the only woman in the room that I can turn around and leave?" Maggie said "well, I guess not." Her mom went on to explain that there is no difference and she needed to get on the field and try out!

Maggie made the team and has been the only girl on the flag football team the entire season. She is having a blast and I cannot tell you how this story gives me goosebumps!

Have a great day ladies!
