Finding Her Way
Victoria dreams of joining the military, but faces teasing from her classmates. She struggles with self-doubt and obstacles as she grows up, but her determination and a mentor help her find her path to becoming a U.S. Marshal, inspiring others along the way.
Victoria loved playing with her toy soldiers in her backyard. And she loved talking to her neighbor who is a ex marine. This has inspired her dream of being in the military one day. But when she shared her dream with her classmates, a group of boys laughed at her. They told her, "Girls can't be soldiers!" Victoria felt her cheeks turn red with embarrassment. She thought, "How can I prove them wrong?"
The next day, Victoria decided to share her dream with her teacher, Mrs. Adams. - "I want to be in the military when I grow up," Victoria said. But Mrs. Adams looked worried. - "That sounds exciting, but it's a big challenge especially for a girl," Mrs. Adams replied. Victoria felt discouraged but nodded. She wondered if her dream was too big. She has just learned about the new legislative that was passed letting women in combat roles. Even though she felt small and silly for having a dream this big she decided that the new victory in the fight of women in the military was a light in the darkness. She could reach her dream if she was strong enough.
In the weeks that followed, Victoria tried to ignore the boys' teasing. But it was hard. - "You'll never make it!" they taunted during recess. Deep in her heart she was truly starting to believe the boys and her teacher. That maybe this was to big of a dream or to hard of a chase. All the girls in her class wanted to be a teacher or a nurse and she felt left out that no one would believe her dream.
One day, after a particularly tough day, Victoria sat on her bed, feeling defeated. She thought about giving up her dream. - "Maybe they're right," she said to herself. But deep down, she knew she wanted to prove them wrong. Victoria closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She needed a sign or a mentor to guide her.
The next day, while walking home, Victoria started talking to Mr. Thompson, her neighbor. He was a retired Marine. She usually turned to him for advice. He was more of a family friend than a neighbor. She usually went to him for advice because after all he was the one who inspired her to go dream big and want to go into the military. - "You look troubled, Victoria," Mr. Thompson said. Victoria shared her struggles with him. - "You can do anything you set your mind to," he encouraged. His words gave Victoria hope and the courage to keep trying.
Years later, after all the hardship and doubt that she faced Victoria became a U.S. Marshal, traveling the country. She spoke to schools and shared her journey. - "You can be anything you want," she told a group of young girls. The girls listened with wide eyes and hopeful smiles. Victoria knew she had found her way and was helping others do the same. She thought that her biggest dream was being in the military and proving everyone who doubted her wrong; but it turned out inspiring other young children to shoot big for their dreams really was what she was passionate about.
