I was a sophomore in high school when I joined Girls For A Change in 2002. With my Milpitas High School team and the support and guidance of our amazing coaches, Joan and Lorraine, my team hosted a day long self esteem summit for middle school girls. Today as a GFC alum I continue to attend GFC events, including the Silicon Valley Girl Summits. I believe every young girl deserves a chance to be part of the GFC experience because I know they will LOVE it as much as I did. I hope that one day I can give back to GFC by becoming a coach and help inspire other young girls to chase their dreams.
I am a senior at San Jose State University majoring in Hospitality Management and I’ll be graduating in May 2009. My goal is to pursue a career in event planning. With the help of my GFC coaches, I earned an internship at National Semiconductor as their Events Intern.
Since my internship at National Semiconductor, I have been able to experience other internship opportunities relating to my field of study. Not only did my GFC Coaches provide me with the resources and support I needed to be a strong individual, but they have come to be my mentors and friends.
I am incredibly grateful for the tremendous impact that GFC has had on my life. I support GFC because the program has made positive changes in my life. It is a well run program and organization that encourages girls to create change. As young girls are making a difference, they are also learning about themselves. They learn life lessons and skills that will benefit them as they progress in their lives.
