Learning Life Skills Through GlamourGals

Francesca B., Treasurer at Mahopac High School, shares how she has learnt life skills and changed her perspective when becoming a part of GlamourGals.

When I joined GlamourGals, as a freshman in highschool, I was not expecting for it to have such a big impact on my life. Being a part of GlamourGals has allowed me to rethink the way that I view life and my perspectives have changed completely. I have been able to form deeper connections with the seniors and learned valuable lessons along the way. Furthermore, I have learned some important life skills due to the fact that I hold a board position. Being treasurer has taught me responsibility and organization, as I plan fundraisers. Since joining the club, I have been able to figure out that I want to work in a field that allows me to connect with others, and I am hopeful that I will be able to pursue a career, where I can especially interact with seniors. I constantly find myself talking to my parents and classmates about my visits and encounters. I am always so excited and eager to go on visits. While we brighten the seniors’ day, I truly feel great, and my mood is uplifted when visiting the home.
