Accomplishments
I received my Girl Scout Gold Award in May 2022. The Gold Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn, and takes over 80 hours of service work to achieve. I created two little libraries with English and Spanish-English books for my former middle school, which had an almost 50% Spanish-speaking population. I set up a book drive for people in my community to be able to donate to the libraries.
