"Girl’s State was amazing! I learned so much about government, my responsibilities as a citizen, and what makes America great. But Girl’s State wasn’t just for learning about government. Girl’s State really pushed me out of my comfort zone. It helped me gain confidence in myself by making new friends, speaking in front of groups, and running for offices. Ultimately, I learned a lot about myself.
Girl’s State will always be one of my best memories of this summer, but not because it was the kind of “fun” that you would associate with a typical summer vacation. In fact, the days were packed with speakers, songs, meetings, activities, and patriotic programs, all after only getting about five hours of sleep. :) Sometimes it was challenging, but that is what made it fun. Challenges promote growth, and it was fun to see the growth in myself and others. Girl’s State will definitely change you for the better and open your eyes if you will let it.
I am so grateful for my opportunity to have attended Girl’s State. It was an experience I will never forget. I love Girl’s State!"
