She's the Everyday Hero.
The woman who paved your way to success despite the diversities she faced.
The Woman who, in despite the challenges of the pandemic, finds a few moments from her stretched time and stretched budget to help others.
Maybe she helps financially disadvantaged children navigate online education giving them free tuition.
Maybe she helps her elderly neighbours with their tech/online needs. Or a family member/friend/colleague in distress.
Maybe she makes it a point to cook extra food every day so that she can feed some people in need.
Maybe she is a mother-in-law who stepped up to support her daughter-in-law. Or a daughter-in-law who is looking after her parents-in-law. Or sending the Covid warrior in her family to work every day as she takes on the rest of their responsibilities. Or she is a daughter who refuses to abandon her ailing parents.
For she is That Special Woman, the one you can always rely on.
She is Extraordinary. And Inspiring. She finds a way to rise above her personal challenges to help others.
She does it quietly, expecting nothing in return.
She could also be someone who decided to do something for herself. And became the first graduate. The first pilot. The first doctor. The first model. The first actor. The first lawyer. The first engineer. The first job holder in her family and community.
Maybe she stood up to domestic violence. Or to her family taking her for granted.
It could be a woman who turned the pandemic into an opportunity to learn something new. To start her own business. To find a new way on her journey to becoming financially independent.
