#ChooseToChallenge

随着国际妇女节的临近，路易丝迪恩学校 举办了为期三天的虚拟活动，让我们的学生和员工与全国各地的鼓舞人心的女性进行倾听和互动。在令人难以置信的Jody Carrington博士的启发下，这些演讲者分享了他们的故事和见解，提醒我们“我们从来没有被命运置身于孤立之中，尤其是那些需要最大勇气的事情。”按照国际妇女节的主题#ChooseToChallenge，我们汇聚一起，共同挑战自己、他人和我们的社区。

共有十二位鼓舞人心的女性向学生和员工发表了讲话。每个人都分享了自己的故事。每个人都激发了我们的学生。每个人都鼓励我们的学生和员工选择迎接挑战，不让恐惧阻止你——去感受它——去分享它！通过分享和融入力量的圈子，我们都会受益。

在整个活动中，学生们分享了：

“我不知道其他人也有同样的感受。谢谢你分享你的故事。它对我有所帮助，我将继续做出正确的选择。”

其他人提到：

“我从她那里学到了一些东西——在我需要帮助时寻求支持。还有其他人愿意帮助我。”
“我能够改变并为我的孩子做出不同。”

员工们也受到了启发，并承诺迎接我们面临的挑战。

“如果我们一起努力，这将成为一个更好的地方。”
这是令人难以置信的一周！感谢我们的学生招生顾问Candice，她的鼓舞和推动使得这一切在路易丝迪恩学校得以实现。

#ChooseToChallenge

As International Women’s Day approached, Louise Dean School hosted a three-day virtual event for our students and staff to listen and interact with inspirational women across the country. Inspired by the incredible Dr. Jody Carrington, these speakers shared stories and insight ‘to be reminded that we are never meant to do any of this alone, especially the things that require the biggest courage.’ Following the theme of International Women’s Day #ChooseToChallenge, we came together to rise and challenge ourselves, others and our communities.

Twelve inspirational women spoke to students and staff. Each shared a piece of their story. Each inspired our students. Each challenged our students and staff to choose to rise to a challenge and to not let fear stop you – feel it – share it!  By sharing and being in a circle of strength, we all benefit.

Throughout the event, students shared:

“I had no idea others felt the way I do. Thanks for sharing your story. It has helped and I will continue to make good choices.”

Others mentioned:

“I learned something from her – to reach out when I need help. Others are there and willing to help me.”
“I can and will make a difference for my child.”

Staff were inspired as well and have committed to rising to the challenges we each face.

“If we all work together, this will be a better place.”
It was an incredible week! Thanks to Candice, our student intake advisor, for her inspiration and making this happen at Louise Dean School.
