Our Incredible Visit From Ms.Crum About Alice Paul

~~Ms. Crum, a women that worked at the National Women's Party Headquarters came and enhanced the information that we knew about Alice Paul. on October 20th Ms. Crum Stood in front of our 3 & 4th A-day class and told us more about the fascinating history about Alice Paul, the women our class is named after. The presentation was interesting and I enjoyed listening to her and asking questions.
~~During Ms.Crum's presentation we couldn't help but learn a lot about not only Alice Paul, but what she stood for and what she believed in. We learned that Alice Paul was born into a wealthy Quaker family, but was very humble about it. Paul was a very intelligent woman, receiving a B.A., a Masters degree, and a PhD. Alice Paul fought for sufferage, the right for women to vote. Paul was also a social worker, helping families where the mother was the head of the house hold, single mothers. Paul used her experience that she learned in London to protest while in America and used the methods she learned from Pankhurst to also stand up for not only herself but for women everywhere.
~~Alice Paul is a great name for our class because she is a role model to all, not only women. Paul's story tells that every one, man, woman and child are equal. Equality is a very good standard to live by. We think it is great that a piece of history like the Sewall- Belmont house is so close to not only the capital and to Congress but also to our school. One Feature about the house we both learned and found interesting was the stairs from the jail on the side of the building.

Wow Wow Wow, Its Mrs. O'Conner

Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman on the Supreme Court. Today the students in our class had a chance to meet her and and ask her questions. Born on March 26, 1930 former Justice O' Connor grew to be a great role model for girls every where. Previous to O Connor's appointment to the Supreme Court, she was elected an official and judge in Arizona. O'Connor has Lived a successful life, and i am sure she will continue to. But today while she was in our classroom, I was very interested in what she had to say. I honored to meet someone who is part of history.
O'Connor was born in  El Paso, Texas, and has had a incredible career as a jurist. She grew up on a ranch near Duncan, Arizona. O'Connor attended public school and later a private school while living with her grandmother. Sandra O'Connor went to Stanford Law School, receiving her B.A. and LL.B from the institute. O'Connor for the past 54 years has been very successful starting her career as a County Attorney in  San Mateo County, California, and then eventually becoming a member of the Supreme Court. Sandra O'Connor was nominated a for her position as Supreme Court Member by President Ronald Reagan.
O'Connor came to our class to talk about a program called iCivics. iCivics is a program teaching youth about Amendment Right, using computer games. I felt it was very interesting learning about her. Seeing Sandra O'Connor in our class was a very enlightening experience. Seeing her answer questions, telling about her life,  was incredible for me, and I'm sure for the rest of my class.
