The influential woman i have chosen would be Oprah Winfrey. She have made a good compact to the world. Her talk shows talks about many things in the world .The three questions i would ask is what made you become who you are ? Who inspired you to do your talk shows ? and lastly How does you feel that you made a huge compact of the world being a women ? ( back then women didnt the have the right to speak up or vote and do other things ) So how do you feel that you have that power ?.

If I could meet any influential woman, it would be Malala Yousafzai. I would choose her because she is a strong advocate for education, something I stand by. What inspired you to pursue your education? What's your dream career? How do you feel knowing that you are a large impact on many young women today?

I like the women you chose as i see a very intelligent, determined, and amazing person from Malala Yousafzai. She sacrificed so much for something many people take for granted here in the United states and she fought for the right to learn. She is a good role model just by her accomplishments.

3/22/2017 01:53:30 pm

she is an extraordinary person who fought fro education and meeting her would be an honor. The questions could reveal more about herself and another questions could be how did your life changed after the terrible accident that you had?

3/22/2017 05:11:32 pm

I agree with you Ms.Dawson she sacrificed and fought what she wanted even though she had a terrible accident. But what other girl had enough bravery to do what she did?

Malala is an influential female in History today. She went through so much because she wanted to better herself. She would be a great person to meet and learn more about her journey.

I would like to meet Rosa parks as i believe that she not only influenced me but many other people in the past that the world needed to change. I would like to meet her because i admire people who stick up for what they believe as long as it is for a good cause. I would like to ask her why she did what she did on the bus?. My second question would be, what was her motivation to stand up for her rights?, and the last question would be what was her best part in her life? I would ask her these questions because i want to analyze what drives great people to do great things while also observing their likes and experiences that happened to them. I would like to learn how to from her example of standing up for your rights, while not trying to cause harm to others. She was an inspiration to many people during the Civil Rights march and protest and i see why she is remembered the way she is . Her life could teach future generations how to fight for the things that are worth fighting for.

I agree that Rosa Parks would be an amazing woman to meet. Her act was purposeful, but it was unfortunate that she was punished for it. She was an amazing inspiration to a lot of people, and she still is today. Her legend, I'm sure, will continue to live on for generations to come and it will help them to realize that fighting for what is right is not wrong.

if i was able to meet an influential women i would choose Michelle Obama. The reason why i would like to meet her is because she has been a women who has cared for others and helped foundations and charities. The questions i would ask will be: Why you decided to start helping people with charity and the foundations? How did you feel when you became the first Lady of the US? and How did you feel when you knew that you were one of the most influential and loved first ladies of the world?

E.Valdez- 4th pd

3/24/2017 03:18:05 pm

Ms.Moncivais I do believe that one of the most influential people was indeed Michelle Obama. The message she gave to young girls like us was powerful and touching. What makes her so influential is that she did not only focus on one specific group of people. What she did was something that came out of her heart not because it was her "duty" as the First Lady.

If I had the chance to meet any influential woman from any time period, race, or ethnicity, I would want to meet Mother Teresa. I would want to meet her because I am very moved by what she stood for and what her sole purpose was in life to be successful. One question I would want to ask her is why she chose to devote her life to helping others. Another question I would ask is if it was sometimes difficult to see all those people in bad situations. The last question I would ask would be how she felt when she helped each and every person.

J. Vela 4th

Lol quick story. At my church, teens have to coose a saint as a role model. I wanted to pick Mother Teresa SO much because I wanted to be a humble badass like her! However, I wasnt allowed to do it because she was a woman. I was prohibited from following an incomparable person!

Out of all of the women that came up on the website i would have to say Hellen Keller. She felt that even an impaired person should be able to reach their and accomplish their goals. Did you find yourself wanting to give up when The work load was too much? What insults were said to you and how did you push through when they were said? What emotions were present when you received your degree?

I will choose Onika Maraj. She is the type of person who do her and don't care what nobody say and do what she think is right .1.What keep you on the move to succeed? 2. What was your goals in school? 3. Who was the person that push you on?

D.Moseley-1st pd

I absolutely agree that this influential woman would be amazing to meet regardless of the hate she gets. As a celebrity, I honestly think she would appreciate you asking questions about her personally and not just about the dramatics of her celebrity life .

It would be momentous if I met Alondra de la Parra. A renowned Mexican musical conductor, she may a living by constantly swimming against the current in lively, action-packed (literally) manner! I would initially ask her, "Do you think that you would have attained all this success if you would have stayed in a patriarchal Mexico and not left to the liberating 'Big Apple'"? Then, without an inch for her to breath, I would ask, "How did move forward as an outcast in the globally male-dominated conducting world?" After she answered those questions, I would conclude my interaction with the following question: do you choose to be a conductor instead of a pianist to feel a sense of control?

Harriet Tudman is a very powerful woman she has lead numerous people through the Underground Railroad. A questions I would ask her are : what made you think about going to the Underground Railroad to freedom? How did you do the moving getting from here to there? When did you actually feel like you were free from salivary?

If I could meet an influential woman it would be Angelina Jolie. She has worked closely with the United Nations along with other charities that assist people around the globe. Some of the questions I would ask Angelina Jolie would be "what or who inspired you to become an activist?" "What project has impacted you the most?" "In what ways have any of your experiences affected you personally?"

M. Rodriguez 4th

Do you believe her personal life affected her activist work? And I also love how she did not limit herself to "celebrity boundaries".

Alek Wek is a South Sudanese-British model and designer who began her fashion career at the age of 18 in 1995. I would like to meet her because of her influence of the concept of beauty and she broke social expectations. One of the questions that I would ask her is "Were you were ever discriminated whenever you began your career in the modeling industry?" Another one, "Why did you choose to be a model?" Lastly I would as "Did anyone ever tell you that you did not have the potential to be a model?"

If I were able to meet any influential women in the world I would choose to meet Michelle Obama. She has worked hand in hand with different organizations to help raise awareness of global issues. Some of the questions I would ask would be "Did you feel that as the First Lady you had to interact with the people of America as an obligation?", " How do you plan on keeping your programs and relations with organizations on going now that you are no longer the First Lady?", "Has your success as the First Lady changed your perception on the way you view certain societal issues?".

Zendaya Coleman is an influential women I would love to meet someday. Even though Zendaya is still young and has more growing up to do she has been a positive role model and focus for young girls. My first question would be, if you were not famous would you still use your voice and speak up social problems? Then, How do you face criticism from adults that shame you for speaking out on social issues so openly and bluntly,as if you are not famous? Lastly I would ask, what advice could you give high school girls about facing the 'real world' they are going to enter once they leave high school?

The influential woman I would live to meet would be Ruth Wakefield, which is the woman who invented chocolate chip cookies. I would first ask what inspired her to be a baker because sometimes people become go through a lot to get to their destined career. Another question I would ask is how many time did it take to perfect her recipe . My last question would be did she pursue her career in cooking because that's all women were expected to do in that era or was it truly a passion.

If there was one woman I could meet, I would love to be able to speak with Audrey Hepburn. Ms.Hepburn was an amazing actor and philanthropist. She spent her time off-screen as a mother and humanitarian. As an overall bubbly,positive character, Audrey Hepburn inspires me to be confident and outgoing in everything that I do. Her humanitarian work with children from all over the world is a goal and standard that I set for myself. If Ms.Hepburn were still alive today, I would ask her about her amazing style as well as what inspired or motivated her to be such a philanthropist.I would also want to know what her favorite movie to film was.

An influential woman would be Anne Frank. Despite the struggles she was going through she still managed to stay strong, even as a young girl. The questions I'd would want to ask her would be: "Did it ever cross her mind of giving up hiding and just let the Nazis find her?". "As a young girl were the struggles harder than anyone else who was hiding with her?". As well as, "What made her write, why didn't she paint or do something different?"
