Re: Gold Award Project- Please Help!
Kim, this is a really great topic for you to choose - and a difficult one...
Have you thought of a chapter about dying, funerals, customs? In today's U.S. society we tend to shield our children from funeral customs (unlike years ago when weddings and funerals were times of family reunions and children were included). I think many teens have never experienced a wake or a funeral and may be frightened by the prospect because they don't know what to expect. It might be helpful information to know about if you are a teen with a loved one who has a terminal illness. Funerals are one way we cope with the grieving process. |

Re: Gold Award Project- Please Help!
Thats a really good idea, I agree. The first funeral I went to was my moms, and I had no idea what to expect.
Thanks everyone for all the help and the ideas! I'm really getting a lot of useful topics to write about! |

I think if you don't already, you should have a charater that is a sweet person on the outside, but on the inside feels like the world is out to get him/her.

Re: Gold Award Project- Please Help!
Well everyone,
I thank you so much for all of your help and support these last couple of years and helping me with my project. I completed my project (a book of 80 pages!) and received my gold award in May of 2007. I am also happy to announce that my book is getting published. (Well got published) The official release date is 5/5/08. http://www.amazon.com/Mending-Broken...e=UTF8&s=books Is a link to the book. I am just so happy to get a chance to help kids. Currently it is #46 on hot releases of books about grief, which I guess is kind of cool. Thank you so much for your support and help, everyone. I couldn't have done it without you :) |

Re: Gold Award Project- Please Help!
Kim,
I am very proud of you. A Gold Award and a book. That is outstanding! Hope all is well in school. |
Re: Gold Award Project- Congratulations!
Thanks for the update, Kim!
Congratulations on receiving the Gold Award and on having your book published! I'll be sure to check it out! Achieving the Gold Award is no easy task for today's Girl Scout. Last year approximately 5500 girls in the US achieved this goal, representing around 5% of the eligible GS in grades 10-12. To compare, close to 52,000 Boy Scouts received Eagle Scout Award in the past year, which also represents about 5% of the Boy Scout population. So to you, Kim, and to all of the Gold Award GS and Eagle Scouts who have chosen to go above and beyond, well done! |
