“I’m 22 years old, work at Fed Ex, attend Southwest, and am volunteering this summer with Girls of Grit. It’s a positive, inspiring outlet that gives high school girls an opportunity to network and learn about various organizations in the community. I have custody of my 14-year-old sister; she went through the program last summer and is attending again this summer. I saw what a difference it made in her life, and I wanted to get involved in helping to provide opportunities not only for her but for other girls too. I've only lived in Memphis for a couple of years, so this is also helping me get to know the community a little better."
"Where are you from originally?"
"Anchorage, Alaska. The weather here is a lot different than I expected. The winters are colder than I thought they would be, and it's hard to believe how hot it can get in the summer."
