金句

This was my way to make a difference, to disrupt the status quo.
I swore I was going to win. 
Before you get the wrong idea, this is not a talk about the importance of failure.  
 I'm not alone.

The difference is in how boys and girls approach a challenge.
Perfection or bust.
 You have a vision.
Great things happen.

作业

  1. 语音作业(必做)

今天主要练习连读(位置:9:06),不认识的单词一定要查带发音的字典。

These are just three examples of thousands, thousands of girls who have been socialized to be imperfect, who have learned to keep trying, who have learned perseverance. And whether they become coders or the next Hillary Clinton or Beyoncé, they will not defer their dreams.

And those dreams have never been more important for our country. For the American economy, for any economy to grow, to truly innovate, we cannot leave behind half our population. We have to socialize our girls to be comfortable with imperfection, and we've got to do it now.
