“I wrote a poem about the feelings I felt when I learned of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing. These emotions overwhelmed me and even scared me, but they inspire me to live my life with the spirit of Ruth Bader Ginsburg inside of me. I chose to write about this category because Ruth Bader Ginsburg has always been a big role model in my life and all of her work inspires me to fight for what I believe in. She was a pioneer for many women in politics and wasn’t afraid to stand up to her male counterparts when she felt it was necessary. She believed in equality and that no one should be judged on their ability to complete a job by their sex. I plan on living my life with the courage and strength of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and passing on her work and morals for generations to come.”
