Reading the kind comments from my classmates really made me feel empowered. I feel like my efforts to be a positive influence on others are being noticed, and it is awesome to know that my classmates care about me. I now know that the girls support and like me- that reassures me that this class was the right decision and that I am going to learn a lot. It also feels good to know that my comments will affect the others similarly- it’s fulfilling.  I can’t wait to continue building these relationships with these awesome girls!
