"Hope in the Middle" Haley Kilpatrick Deerfield-Windsor School, Class of 2003 Over the past few years I have come to the conclusion that the most effective way of reaching my generation of youth is no longer through school administrators and teachers, but through students reaching students. This will indeed require a new level of responsibility from both parents and older students. Well in middle school I was the girl that was never invited to birthday parties or dances and at lunch the girls in my grade would fill up the lunch table making sure everyone had a seat but me. I was miserable. Last year, my little sister entered 6th grade and began experiencing the same kind of torture I experienced throughout middle school and seeing her pain made me realize that I needed to do something. So I decided to fight back. However, I am not having parties and purposely omitting those girls that left me out and I am not saving seats in the lunchroom. I fight back by giving hope to middle school girls every Tuesday morning at 7:30 a.m. With the headmaster's permission to form this new club, I mailed letter to all of the parents of middle school girls explaining the program's goals. One goal of "Girl Talk" is to give girls a place to share their concerns and to get much needed advice from a trusted upper classman. Another aim of "Girl Talk" is to show girls who they are in Christ and thus improve their self-esteem. The program also challenges girls with specific tasks; such as, unless the words are true, helpful, and kind, don't speak them and remember God made the person who has hurt your feelings so you should pray for that person and forgive them. Each girl leaves "Girl Talk" with positive outlooks and willing hearts. Knowing that I have been through everything a middle school girl could go through gives hope to the girls. I feel I am a positive role model because I love giving back to my school and community. I was named United Way\Volunteer Albany's Volunteer of the Year and also Deerfield-Windsor's Volunteer of the Year because of my efforts to help make middle school easier. I am captain of my school's dance team and find time to maintain a high GPA. I feel I am an excellent student with high goals and I truly feel I make a difference. The difference I make comes from my example and the encouraging programs presented each week. The girls work in groups to solve "imaginary" problems and then share their recommendations to the entire group. No names are ever mentioned and positive responses are always encouraged. Posters with uplifting sayings and Bible verses paper the walls of my school and the tense air in the middle school hall has been lifted because of the positive actions of the "Girl Talkers." People all over South Georgia have felt the effect of "Girl Talk" and I have received letters from people I don't even know. Getting up an hour earlier on Tuesday morning has been more than worth it for me. I have gained more priceless friendships and learned so much about myself, I can only hope my concept will eventually help girls not only in South Georgia, but help girls around our country. · Click here to go back to the list of Fall Contest winners
