As a young girl, i recall being told many times, "If you are going to do something, at least do it right!" This admonition was applied to every chore--dusting, washing dishes. I was learning the value of excellence as I performed each task. But doing things well did not mean they had to be done with perfection--only my best effort with the knowledge I had. Society should be ashamed of the perfection messages drilled into the minds of our youth. Parents should be honored for their efforts to accept their child for who he or she is--but can we ever have too many skills to provide our child with the best edge? In this program, young women learn self-worth, confidence, self-evaluation, impact of their image, and how to move from feeling like a child to desiring and welcoming their growth into womanhood. Each participant will arrive as one person and blossom into another.
Lessons are taught using visual aids, music, discussion, and a positive approach to taking responsibility for yourself. Each student receives take-home “Tips and Tools,” supplies, and an “Excellence in Etiquette Certificate” upon completion of all four courses.
