I have been bad about posting. Thus I hang my head in shame. I had to wait until I found something happy to post about. Never fear. I found it. What could I possibly be happy about? The answer is Girl Scouts. I am trying to achieve my Gold Award in one year. (Actually, a little more than a year, but I’m very glad about that.) And I am well on my way to actually managing that. This helps a lot with my burdensome feeling of failure. So in celebration of that I have made a list of why I love Girl Scouts.
1. The Girls- all of the girls in my troop (all 6 of us, now 5 :( ) are my friends. Some of my best friends really. We have a blast doing whatever. The only thing that is consistently accomplished at every meeting is laughter. Sometimes I think we are truly crazy, but I don’t care.
2. Feeling of success- most of what Girl Scouts has become as I’ve gotten older is service. Personally I love service projects; they give me that warm fuzzy feeling. Plus, planning and implementing them bolsters my ego enormously. I really feel accomplished. And I help people. It’s a win win.
3. Looks good- it’s the first reason I hear anymore as to why I should do anything: it looks good for college. Honestly, I don’t care, but it subdues everyone who thinks it takes up too much time.
4. There are few shortcomings- only ones I can think of: (ohh! A sub-list)
a. Time consuming- the gold award takes a minimum of 140 hours of work and at least a year
b. I can’t meet boys there- this is kind of an obvious flaw since it is Girl Scouts. However, it is still something lacking.
In short, I love Girl Scouts and am going to finish my Gold Award. I’ll keep you posted. Hope you had a great holiday weekend. This post is short because school is tomorrow. (I know you really don’t care Google Searcher, but you might.)
There are two credit cards for every person in the United States.
