About a month ago I made a trip to Claremont, NH to help out at the "You're Amazing" Self Esteem Pageant. This was one of the most rewarding experiences to have been a part of. All of these young girls, ages 5th grade to 9th grade participated in the event with courage, smiles, and CONFIDENCE! Not only was I just there to make a speech about loving yourself and the people around you, but I got to spend some quality time with the girls themselves and connect with them. We told stories, took pictures, laughed, and overall just had a great time enjoying each others company! :)
The other volunteers and helpers were SO much fun to be around! Many of them being close to my age- we surprisingly had mutual friends even though we were about an hour away from each other, how cool is that!? Such a small world. I enjoyed making new friends and being a part of such a positive environment. We made sure that I would come back to help next year, too ;)
A big THANK YOU! for inviting me to join you last month, and for inviting me back next year! :)
