This photograph is describing what a young child's role model should be. The teenage girl represents a strong youth leader. She can be whatever she sets her sights on.

She does not need a male or beauty to succeed but her knowledge is her power. She is a well rounded individual who participates in sports, practices music and gets good grades. She is successful without dressing up in the pretty princess outfits and makeup. The young six year old child is looking up to a strong role model. Behind the young girl is a world of fantasy that is supported by today's society. The young girl's back is to the fantasy life and she now has a positive, more successful role model to look up to.

Her life will not require the typical female manipulation (through makeup and revealing clothing) that is taught to today's youth. She is
