discussion with three women: Diane Drakes, Annabelle
Diaz, and Jaunice Edwards. I liked their honesty about the
obstacles they faced as kids in getting an education and as
women in the job sector. Two women shared that despite
most peoples skepticism they still succeeded. They are
currently trying to make a positive impact on educating females of diverse backgrounds. The ladies stressed that women of color
should stand together and encourage one another rather than drag each other down. What I remember most, is being told “always
believe in yourself! “ I also enjoyed the chance to attend the conference with EHS students. Spending the day together made me
feel like combining the schools next year, won’t be as bad as I thought.

The Child Development Lab course has an amazing hands on component!

partnering with Enfield Head Start for the past 6 years. The Enfield High School students have a unique opportunity to put theory and knowledge into action.
