Blooming Girls
Blooming Girls mission is to provide a safe and inspiring environment for girl’s ages 5-12 years old, where they can develop the life skills needed to reach their highest potential. Blooming Girls aims to nurture and advance within each girl a sense of confidence, self-esteem, individuality, integrity, and creativity, responsibility for self and community and friendship.
Why:
Why is Blooming Girls such an important program to myself? When I was younger in my tweens and teens I felt alone and scared at times. I did not want to tell my mom and dad or my sisters what I was feeling.
I needed someone I could talk to other than my own family members. I did not feel comfortable talking to them about things that were going on inside my head. I needed a mentor or friend that I could trust. Who then in turn could lead me to trust myself? I had a lot of pressure from within to be perfect and deep down I was feeling lost. I know that girl’s issues and insecurities are starting younger and younger. I feel that by giving girls the tools to discuss what is happening and how they are feeling can lead them to a more successful journey through life with less pressure to be perfect or something they are not.
