My New Year's Resolution with Girls Inc.

Volunteer resolves to impact local girls in 2009
By Carlotta Ford, Girls Inc. Volunteer


"Each one teach one" has always been a motto that I try to apply to my everyday life. Being a volunteer with Girls Inc. has been both rewarding and fulfilling for me. Not only am I able to teach young girls important principles for everyday life, I also have the opportunity to meet so many new people, both young and old.


I resolve this New Year to give an encouraging word to any young girl I may come in contact with, whether at the grocery store or in a program I facilitate. Some of these young ladies are buried in so much negativity on a daily basis that one positive compliment may bring at least an ounce of worth to their day.
