Teens In Chicago Reflect On Clinton's History-Making Moment

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A message from Hillary Clinton is resonating with little girls everywhere, especially in the Chicago area, where Clinton grew up.

"I may become the first woman president but one of you is next," Clinton told the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night.

CBS 2's Sandra Torres spoke with teenagers about Clinton's historic night, becoming the first woman to run for president from a major political party.

As the next generation of women leaders sat together, they reflected on the current leaders, setting an historic example.

"It is absolutely encouraging," said 16 year old Abiola Salimon, one of 20 girls participating in the Global Youth Ambassadors Summit.

The summit is an opportunity for girls to learn how to dream big- just like Hillary Clinton did.

"I feel like seeing Hillary Clinton get nominated would be like, 'Yeah, we are smart, we can do this,' " said Salimon.

They may not all support Clinton.

Regardless of their political views, what Clinton has achieved motivates them.

"Yes, we are women and yes we are strong and yes we are going to step out we won't care about the oppression you are trying to put on us," said Gisselle Hernandez. "The darkness is behind us and the future is bright for us now."

Tomorrow, the young women will get to watch Hillary Clinton speak to the Democratic National Convention and formally accept the party's nomination.
