Experiences 3 :

What I did :  I'm a Girl Scout and on this night we had a "journey in a day". Where it was a zoom meeting all about the badge "sisterhood". We all worked on different activities but the one I loved most was the poem we created. We talked a lot about the roles women play today like being a sister, role model, and behaviors like how we act on social media. At the end of this we all do a "take action plan" and help change the community in a small way but something that may have a big impact.

Thinker

Experience 1 Reflection :

Social Media isn't something I thought about doing but I love church. I've never felt more at home than Culture. It's an amazing place with an amazing family that surrounds you. So being about to give back and help out here has been a blessing. It's pushing me out of my comfort zone, and starting up conversations with new people. I'm starting to get the hang of working my phone and that's going to be a challenge. I hope to soon start editing more and that's going to be a whole other ball game itself. However I couldn't be more pleased.
