This week, CNA says farewell to our summer intern, Lizzy Joslyn. In her final week at CNA this summer, Lizzy offers "The Genius of Woman," a four-part series of interviews and profiles, based on Pope St. John Paul II's "Letter to Women," and interviews with seven Catholic women from very different walks of life. This is the fourth piece in that series:
A sophomore college student studying political science, Miriam Miller, 18, dreams of becoming a strong and influential advocate for humanitarian causes.
Initially, Miller felt fear and doubt when considering a career in politics. Not wanting "to be mean, argue, tear people apart" in her future career, Miller's was encouraged when she discovered, through an exploration of the Church teachings, that she "didn't have to" embody those qualities in order to be successful and happy in her desired field. "That's not who I am as a person," she added.
"I don't want to feel like I have to be this weird little mutant of myself," Miller said. And, thanks to the feminine genius, she doesn't have to.
