I wasn't born in Richmond and I had a hard time making friends; Girls Inc. enable me to make friends. Girls Inc. has really helped my life and I really enjoyed going there for plenty of reasons. I feel bad because this is my last year and I wish I could continue to come or at least work there. Girls Inc. and their staff mean a lot to me.

Bold is my word because I do try my hardest, I am outgoing, I love kids and people in general, I get involved with new activities and complete my tasks. It takes being strong and smart to become a bold outspoken young woman and I plan on being the same bold (sort) of person for the rest of my life. Thanks to Girls Inc. I can be.

My favorite thing about Girls Inc. was the way (my girls) talked about it at the end of the day, full of stories about what they learned and did.
