"Despite some progress, there are fewer women going into math and science related professions. One group is working to change that by getting girls interested in the subjects at an early age. \"expanding Your Horizons\" recently held a conference where more than 200 middle school girls got together with women who work in male dominated industries. The day was all about hands on fun, and lots of girl power.Last spring Victoria Arlen was a 17 year old teen with hopes of diving into the pool at the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games in London. We all know now how that turned out. Victoria not only made it to London, she took home three silver and one gold medal. We were lucky enough to know Victoria before she met with worldwide fame, and we got to share her story with you last year. This story has now been nominated for a New England Emmy Award for its Producer Mary-Paige Provost and Videographer/Editor Paul Falco. We thought you might like to see it again, even though we all know, it has a happy ending.For more information on tonight's stories:Expanding Your HorizonsExeter Area General Federation of Women's Clubshttp://www.eagfwc.org/Expanding_Your_Horizons.htmlVictoria Arlenwww.victoriaarlen.comNortheast PassageUniversity of New HampshireDurham, NH \u00A0(603) 862-0070www.nepassage.org/Hosting this week from:Fearless Flyers AcademySalisbury NH603-545-2434www.fearlessflyersacademy.com/"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
