Happy weekend everyone!! I can not believe it is already February ...2010 is moving quickly! Today I'm speaking at a girls empowerment group at a local middle school here in Springfield. I plan to talk about pursuing dreams and keeping positive attitudes along the way. Young girls have so many pressures to be perfect, I want to express to them there is no set criteria for "perfect." Life is not about being the skinniest or the prettiest, those are not goals that will keep you happy. There is so much more to life than that and I want to help the girls see that, they need to know they can do anything they put there minds to. I'm living proof!! I want the girls to set healthy goals for themselves and develop a fire burning passion for their goals. When you believe in yourself and have goals,I truly believe it will help prevent falling into drinking,drugs, and all the other negative influences teens face. The key to my success is my attitude.
“How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. So always think positively.”
“How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. So always think positively.”
I will keep you updated on how it goes and will post pictures asap!! I have several other upcoming events im very much looking forward to. On the 19th of this month i will helping out at a book blast in Kansas City to promote child literacy, Kansas Teen USA will be joining me. I am so grateful so all these wonderful opportunities that have allowed me to reach out to others. Have a fun and safe weekend!
LOVE,
Erica Sturdefant
