We need to celebrate and acknowledge all that women have been able to contribute to our community, country and world.”
Have you ever had a dream of making a change in history for women? If so, why?
“I can’t say I have ever had a dream of making a change,” Berlet said. “I will say I have always aspired to be a strong woman like those in my family before me. I have always wanted to be successful in my career. I wanted to be a role model for younger girls. Everyday I work towards that dream.”
How long did it take for you to succeed in your life?
“To me, success is a never-ending journey,” Berlet said. “I feel like I have had different chapters in my life. Each chapter had its highs and lows. However, with each chapter I have worked towards success by putting in hard work and dedication. Right now, I am starting my chapter in teaching. It is my first year, so the road to success is one that is just beginning.”
