I am a woman. I was a homemaker and mom for two decades. At one time, I wanted to speak 6 languages and be a translator. That dream did not pan out. I feel better about it since learning a little HTML and CSS.<p>I am very social and I had fantasies that speaking multiple languages would allow to talk in depth with many people. I learned HTML and CSS to code my own websites back before we had things like BlogSpot. Learning a smattering of code allowed me to reach far more people than learning a smattering of German, French and Greek.<p>What do these girls dream of? Being moms without being trapped in poverty? Computers are a pathway to having what you want. Find out what they dream of and help them see that this path will open more doors for them than most other paths. Try to connect the dots for them, if at all possible.
