Girl Scouts has been a big part of my life and helped make me who I am today. This past fall I earned my Gold Award, which is the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn. For the project I created a website called Believe In A Cure. The website is for families who have a parent or both parents with breast cancer. It is more geared towards families with younger children, but it is great for all ages. There is information for the adults about breast cancer and how to explain it to their children. There is also a kids page where there are games and activities for them to do and stories to read. This page helps the kids understand more of what is happening to their parent and for them to know that they are not alone. This website is one of my biggest and most proud accomplishments which I will never forget. I have spent many hours on it and I hope to help children and families with this extremely scary experience. I will never forget it and when I found out that I earned the award it was one of the best days of my life.

Something that has been a big part of who I am is cheerleading. I was a cheerleader all throughout middle and high school and made varsity as a sophomore. I cheered at all of my high school’s football and basketball games every year and I was on the competition cheerleading team all six years. Throughout all of the ups and downs, including many injuries, I have always enjoyed the sport very much and still do. I will never forget it as I love cheering people on and also being a positive impact on people’s lives. Even though I may be finished with the sport for now, I still reflect a positive attitude and cheer people on in a different way by helping give them motivation and letting them know that they can do anything that they put their mind to. I have spent six years of my life dedicated to cheerleading and I will never forget it.
