I will not stand on the sidelines while he takes the glory. I plan to wake up every morning to the cold Alaska air, grab my helmet and go weld on a huge pipeline. I want to work where I know I will be treated just the same, where I can weld in peace. Enough is enough when I say "I will not stand for this." I don't want to work in a cubicle and wear a pretty skirt, writing cute little stories that will never happen. I am welder, and that is what I'll be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FUN FACT: I love to weld, and if you have questions, feel free to message me. This poem is written to try and open peoples eyes up to the fact that women can weld just as good as men. we are no different.
