A Visit to New York City

Hi, my name is Lily and I am 8 years old. Today, I want to tell you about my visit to New York City, where I learned about an amazing woman named Gloria Steinem. She was a famous activist who fought for women's rights and equality. I was so excited to visit a place in the city that was influenced by her! During our trip, my family and I went to a famous tourist attraction called the Statue of Liberty. This statue is a symbol of freedom and liberty, just like Gloria Steinem believed in. I learned that she fought for women's rights, just like the statue represents freedom for everyone. When I looked at the statue, I imagined Gloria Steinem standing tall, speaking up for what she believed in. It made me feel inspired and proud to be a girl. I want to be brave and strong just like her! Visiting the Statue of Liberty taught me that we should always stand up for what is right, no matter how small we are. Even though I am only 8 years old, I can still make a difference in the world, just like Gloria Steinem did. I hope one day I can meet Gloria Steinem and tell her how much she inspires me. Until then, I will keep learning about amazing people like her and continue to fight for equality and justice. Love, Lily
