Suzanne Ketchum Adams: 我在1973年就读于宾夕法尼亚州一所小镇的高中，当时学校要求我们上三年家庭经济学课。有一次，我的老师麦克斯帕伦女士当着全班同学的面批评我的缝纫作品，这让我感到非常羞辱。更让我气愤的是，男生们不用上这门课。我偶然读到美国宪法第一修正案，其中提到了公民有权请愿以纠正不满。于是，我起草了一份请愿书，抗议这种不公平的课程设置，并得到了许多同学的签名支持。虽然校长并没有立即改变现状，但我的行动最终引起了学校的重视。第二年，学校取消了对新生的家庭经济学课的强制要求。我意识到，我的行动不仅仅是为了我自己，也为后来的女生争取了权益，让她们可以自由选择自己感兴趣的课程。这让我深刻体会到，即使是微小的个人行动，也能为社会带来积极的改变。
