Personal response:
The reason why i choose this video when i was elementary school student, I've heard about this woman (but at that time I didn't know her name.), so i really impressed her and i wanted to be a person like her. She used to my idol and admiration woman. Also I watched this video again as an adult, an woman, I really moved to her brave and personality again. Fortunately nowadays many woman shows their strength and power. I want to be a person like that.
