Inspire—<br />
To Fill Someone With the Urge or Ability to Do Something<br />
By Angela Berry Allen—Principal, Olmsted Academy South<br />
Principal Angela Allene.<br />
I have always debated whether the<br />
coldest, grayest winter months were<br />
most appropriate months to celebrate<br />
and honor the many significant<br />
individuals and cultural groups who<br />
shaped our great country and inspired<br />
each of us to do great things for<br />
humanity. After all, who can celebrate<br />
and sincerely give thanks with all the<br />
ice, snow, cold, flu, holiday weight<br />
gain, rumors of nuclear war, fake news,<br />
and the list goes on. Honestly, the<br />
bears have this thing figured out,<br />

of winter<br />
and stay put<br />

inspiration<br />

warmth,<br />
beauty, and<br />

with writing about the great women<br />
who inspire me, I, like most,<br />

women in my personal life. A brave,<br />
loving, hardworking mother; a kind,<br />
loving, funny grandmother; three<br />
fiercely independent, brave aunts; two<br />
sisters and their beautiful, intelligent,<br />
and extremely talented daughters.<br />
Without a doubt, these women are<br />
precious to me and continue to shape
