Thatcher, Grade 10
This past summer in PowerPlay’s Leadership Academy was the best summer I ever had. I learned a lot about life and female empowerment. I received good advice from many experienced females. As I entered my sophomore year, I was much more confident in being myself, which is helping to increase my grades. I learned that it’s okay to not know what I want to do in the future and it’s good to try new things. The “after hours” sports and camping trip helped me connect with many of the girls. This summer experience got me excited and ready for anything heading my way in high school, college and in real life.
