We don’t get to choose our family, but we CAN determine how we relate and communicate with them. In this section, girls take a good hard look at their role within their family.

It is a crash course on how to feel and act independent within their family.SchoolSpire
School gives us an education, an occasional bad hair day, stress headaches, fights with friends, and countless triumphs and trials. But overall, there is nothing like being educated! This section shows girls how to identify and deal with stress, peer pressure, maintain a healthy life/school balance, get the most out of their education, how to ask those hard questions in school, and learn to march to the beat of their own drum.

Your friends are your help, your ear, and your shoulder to cry on. They are the ones you laugh with, scream with, and live life to the fullest with--choosing them wisely...has never been easy. This chapter helps girls to distinguish true friends and weed out those who are not; it questions everything you know about the ones closest to you and puts friendships to the test.

Why just dream it, when you can start living it? This chapter is about getting girls to start identifying those dreams now and how they can make them happen at any age. SafetySpire
