Description

I, myself, am personally someone that has to be driven or pushed to do what’s best for me. For instance, like going to college or even studying for a test so I can pass. But as I’ve gotten older I realized I have always needed someone I can relate to, to motivate me. I know a lot of people feel the way I feel. My idea is to get those of us who feel that way together involved in having meetings to discuss ways we can better our self. Also, in those organized meetings, we as young women can also discuss relationships, school opportunities, finances, or any other problems that can help us strive to be better.
