Through completing her Silver Award project with two other Girl Scouts, the author learned about the hard work and skills required to earn such an award. Their project involved organizing a book drive for a local children's hospital. This taught them public speaking, teamwork, responsibility, and advocacy skills. The book drive educated others about donating gently used books and had a positive impact on the hospital by providing reading materials for patients. The author feels she can now take on bigger projects after seeing the difference three girls can make in their community.
