Romana Outruns the Boys

Submitted By: Romana | Age:

My class is always saying I can’t beat them at races because I’m a girl and that boys are always faster than girls. One day when they where having a race around the playground (boys only) I put my hood up and started to run. In the end I was the one who crossed the finish line first. When I took down my hood all the boys mouths fell and no longer do they think that girls can’t do something because they’re girls.
