Secret Tips Day 5

I was sad that the week had to end! I met an incredible group of young women I know you’ll be hearing more about in the future. We talked about a few key things today before we celebrated: Giving Back and How to Make Your Dream Happen.

It’s so easy to get caught up in our own lives that we can forget to stop and help each other or consider how our choices affect the world around us. So, take a look at how you give back. Do you volunteer? Are you involved in any projects at school or church that help the community? Do you recycle or think about other ways to help the environment?

When it comes to your own dreams, it’s important to also have a plan. Talk to people who are doing what you want to do. See if you can get an internship or volunteer at an organization that will help you determine what you really want. Never give up or take no for an answer! We’re going to have more discussions about your dreams in our Book Club Series kicking off in August!

I want to thank all of the girls who spent the week with me at Lewis and Clark. I learned so much from all of you and admire each of you for your beauty, courage and dreams!
