I am Barbara


I am Barbara.

I have the potential to be whatever I want. I want to be a doctor, a cop, an astronaut, a ballerina, a movie star, a model, a great big sister and a great daughter.

I want to be Barbara. Barbie, as she’s known to most of us, I a role model to girls of all ages, inspiring them to be whatever they want, while also showing that a girl can still be beautiful and have fun. Barbie brings joy to many young girls acting as a companion, a best friend, and a sister. I want to be all those things. I want to help empower girls to be who they want, help achieve dreams they thought they couldn’t reach, and be the support they want in a time of need.

Barbie is constantly changing her profession, but through her different outfits and jobs one thing remains constant: she is inspiration to all girls. I’m still unsure of what job field I want to enter into, but one thing is for sure, no matter what I do, I want to help girls become strong independent women whose goals are never out of reach. I want to be a leader and a role model.

I want to be someone’s Barbie.
