Roots and Wings "Relationships" Camp for Girls

Once again I had the honor of working with girls at the Relationships camp during the week of July 11, 2011. This camp focused on the importance of building good relationships with family and friends. I was able to help out 2 days during this camp and had the opportunity to talk with the girls about the negative impact of bullying.

Pensacola State College

After visiting with the girls at the PACE Center on July 6, I had the honor of meeting with the President of Pensacola State College, Dr. Ed Meadows. We discussed the schools transition from a Junior College to a four year state college and I was able to share with him how my high school, NGHS prepares me for college. He emphasized the importance of education, civic involvement and applauded me for my membership in the Beta Club and efforts to education others on bullying in our schools and social networks.

Pace Center for Girls

My first appearance related to my bullying platform was at the PACE Center for girls in Pensacola, FL on July 6, 2011. At this appearance I was able to discuss bullying and her personal experiences of girls who have encountered bullying. Although some of the stories were heartbreaking, the encouragement offered by the group of girls towards one another was uplifting. I hope I will have another opportunity to work with these girls the next time I am in Florida. To learn more about the PACE Center, go to http://www.pacecenter.org/.
