My Gold Award Project:
For my Girl Scout Gold Award Project, I am interviewing inspiring women and publishing a book and sharing their experiences. My goal is to make positive female role models accessible to girls. I hope to inspire girls to work towards their goals by illustrating how women in our society have conquered the odds to become successful in their fields.
I chose this project because I feel that there is a lack of accessible positive female role models in our society. I want it to be easy for girls to see women in all fields and become inspired to follow their dreams. I want all girls to have a woman to look up to and I hope to make role models more accessible through my book.
