Moving on in life, as a teenager what do you feel were your greatest achievements and worse mistakes? Have these achievements and/or mistakes helped to make you a better person? Or did they hinder you as you proceeded into adulthood?

My teenage years were not the worse time of my life, but they weren’t the best either. But, I do remember having fun with my friends, making a terrible choice of boyfriend and going through puberty!!!! Now that I am going through menopause, I feel like I am going through puberty again.

There was a couple of things that happened to me that I feel changed my life a bit. My 8th grade, I tried out to be a majorette with the marching band, and not only did I get the position, I was named Captain and Drum Majorette. The day the posted the list of the ones that made it, I remember all the girls looking at me and wondering why I was chosen for those jobs. Believe me, it wasn’t accepted very well, but it didn’t matter. I learned a lot from that experience and I think I was a good leader. I later became the Drum Majorette for the Senior High School band and loved every minute of that!! Especially the uniform I got to wear.

The other thing in my teen life that I feel was a great accomplishment was making 1st Class in Girl Scouts. It takes many years to finally get to that stage and I am still very proud of that today. Girl Scouts taught me a lot and I still use some of the things I learned from those 12 years today. I wish all girls could experience all the fun I had being a Girl Scout and I am sure a lot of that is due to the fact that we had great leaders. All the trips, camp adventures and still my favorite today was 6 years at Girl Scout Camp in the summer. I loved it!!
