Description:
I took this photograph while visiting Roma Fori Imperiali in Italy. This grand staircase captures how I feel about the path to to becoming an adult - a combination of thrilling and daunting. As a teen girl, I have dreams of becoming a leader, change maker, role model, and future mentor. However, I am aware that the trek can be long, and some have spoken of a "glass ceiling." Will I have the courage and endurance to reach my ambitions? My future path feels like an "Adventure" - one that I highly anticipate, and one that I hope to successfully navigate.
