Hello fellow fifth graders! My name is Alexa Adgers and I am a member of Kid Governor Cristiano’s Cabinet.
In March, I had the opportunity to attend The Angel of Edgewood Women’s History Month celebration of Community, Culture, & Cuisine, hosted by Angel of Edgewood and sponsored by The Hartford Yard Goats, Hartford Healthcare, The Connecticut Sun, and Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity & Opportunity (CWCSEO). The purpose of the event was to highlight some of the special women in the greater Hartford community.
At this luncheon, I was privileged to give a speech and receive the Unsung Hero Award for my hard work in the community. In addition to being a member of the Cabinet, I volunteer for projects run by Angel of Edgewood including the Back-to-School Extravaganza, Coats and Cocoa, Christmas Toys Giveaway, and holiday community lunches.
In my speech, I talked about two women I admire: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and social activist Harriet Tubman. I admire Justice Sonia Sotomayor because she sets goals and accomplishes them. I admire Harriet Tubman because she was intelligent, confident, and brave. I was excited and nervous to give my speech. I had never given a speech before in front of a large crowd.
I was surprised and happy to receive an award and to be recognized for making a difference. I am excited to continue making a difference with my platform that addresses mental and physical wellbeing during my term in the Kid Governor’s Cabinet.
