Ambitious girls

Last time I got an employment was when I met a female manager who recognized herself in me. She recognized the ambitious girl in me, the little smart girl she also used to be. We were the ones who always made our homework, and who got good results at exams. We took school seriously.

Why were we so ambitious? We didn't get any more love by being ambitious. Did we even get respect? I remember being accused of being overly ambitious, as I enjoyed also learning the stuff my bigger sister was learning.

The guys who didn't take school too seriously, and just played, maybe because they were a bit childish, some of them are really successful now. I believe they recognize and remember us from school. Also those who are performing interviews. I can't hide that I was an ambitious little girl. I just need to mention that I studied science. I bet they see an annoying smart girl in front of them, a girl who has grown old.

I'm very happy some small girls got some love and respect and continued to be ambitious all their lives. I hope they become successful, because they deserve it.
