WRITING WINNERS!

Ron was confused since yesterday's meeting where he had witnessed a focus group discussion on the topic of the future of girls in STEM. The group consisted of seven members from elite research institutions from all over the world. They were just given the topic to discuss informally and Ron had sat outside the glass wall as he was the moderator. Ron had preconceived notions about the topic but he had decided to keep his opinions to his heart and just note down the happenings in the group. The statement that had hit him most during the discussion which had also affected his sleep last night was that the future of girls in STEM is not at all a point of discussion. This is a baseless subject altogether.
What made this remark come as a surprise was that it came from Nish who herself was seen as the pioneer of STEM research and the first lady who started her 'Only Girls' research organization.
The other six comprising of people from all diverse backgrounds including males and females had generally voted in positive for the bright future of girls in STEM. The examples of brilliant girls taking the world by storm was the highlight of the discussion. Everyone pointed out that with good support, girls may really prove to be good in STEM. After every seven to eight minutes Nish would come out very harshly dampening all the spirits of the group stating very clearly that the girls should be kept away from being a part of STEM activities. A big "Why?" roared in all its brutality in Ron's heart.
Today Ron had to submit his report on the discussion. He so wished that he could wipe away Nish's comments but being a fair researcher he knew this was not possible.
He decided to do something which he himself had never thought he would do. He impulsively called Nish and asked her one straight question which had crossed his mind thousands of times since yesterday. He blurted out, "Why you of all the people in the world believe that the future of girls in STEM is not bright? You yourself have set a benchmark which girls all over the world draw inspiration from!"
The answer surprised Ron so much that he could not help smiling. Nish said,"Let us reword the topic of the discussion and then you will see what I meant. The topic was Future of girls in STEM and my point was that Girls are the future of STEM. I have dedicated my whole life to prove this point and after an entire haul of six decades you ask me what is the future of girls in STEM. Girls do not have to be a part of the STEM activites with support. They will lead the STEM world and provide support to entire humanity."
Ron could feel her words ringing not in his ears but in his heart when his door bell rang. His scientific wing coordinator had come for the report.
Ron typed the final line on his laptop and then changed the title from Future of girls in STEM to Future of STEM- Girls!!
