Recently girls from the Greater Houston area were asked how Girls on the Run had changed their life.
The following are a few things Taizeth, a 6th grader, had to say:
“mostly it (Girls on the Run) made me want to be a better person, whether at school or at my house. Since I have been with Girls on the Run I have had more friends and something to talk with them.”
Before Girls on the Run, “I just cared about looks and popularity but now I don’t care about that stuff anymore. If they’re nice to me I consider them my friends. No that I am with Girls on the Run I feel fearless and could care less about popularity.”
The following is an exerpt from a note sent to one of our Girls on the Run coaches:
Hello coach!
I can’t tell you how excited my daughter is about the program. Each time she comes home, she shares what she learned, and I just love how she has become even more confident about who she is, what she feels and thinks, and her body image! I really wish my other daughter could be included. She really would have benefited from the program too.
Thank you! Thank you! This is awesome!
