Time Management

The Gold Award Project is intimidating-and that is why it is the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. It takes a lot of work. It forces girls to step out of their comfort zone. One thing that the Gold Award Project has taught me is time management. When my project was approved by council in November, 2013, I was ready to go. After the long planning and application process, I was finally done. I worked on my project until mid-March, contacting adults and working on setting up my pet food pantry. Then school and soccer had me incredibly busy with playoffs, prom, AP tests, and finals. When summer came, I knew it was time for my Gold Award Project. Throughout the summer, I have had to-do lists and goals set every week so my Gold Award can progress. Today is June 20th, and I am so proud on how much I have accomplished in the last twenty days. I recommend that every girl scout working on their gold award sets goals and reminders so their project will continue to advance!
