I feel like it is really important that I stress that we can achieve more by working together than against each other. I was really blessed to be in an honours class [B.Sc] with the people I was placed with. From the onset we studied together and we helped each other understand the content of the work. We were not competing against each other; rather each individual was trying to surpass their personal best. I’ve often watched friendships crumble and die in some circles because people stopped working together. It’s sad.
I believe that we are all different and have been endowed with talents that are unique to each one. I think the reason for that is so that we can learn to exist in mutually beneficial associations. Clearly speaking, we need to help each other.
This is even truer if you are female like me. It seems that men and other females try to stay away from female friendships involving women because there is an understanding that all we do is work to ensure each other’s demise. How often have you seen a singular girl hang out with a bunch of men!? I’m not saying that this association is wrong but there are very few female cliques that are not riddled with secret desires to bring a member of the gang down. That is why most girly cliques have a handful of members.
I’m not advocating that you girls go out and make the circle bigger. I am advocating that you work together. Life is so much better when you don’t have to worry about a butter knife stuck between your vertebrae. Life is so full of joy when you know that your friend is really pleased with your achievements and not actually muttering a voodoo spell under her pearly whites. Life is worth living when you have people to confide in, who encourage you, laugh with you, cry with you and laugh with you.
I believe that as women we can do this. It’s inherent in our natures. What do you say?
