Driving further .
The program of “ A Different Girl ” was a wonderful experience to be in . Every week was a different activity that related to “ STEM ”, Science , Technology , Engineering , and Math . Each of the groups shared the idea of what they would like to do and we did our possible to accomplish the things they wanted to do . When I had an idea they were taken and we will incorporate the ideas in order to have fun and learned something new each day . Being next to these girls and having conversations I can tell that many of them want to be like others and follow the American Dream . Which is , having a good career and going to college and getting the best education that they couldn ’ t get in there country . When I heard that Ms . Agnes and other people wanted to create this program , I was really excited because I have alwayswanted to meet someone from a different country other than Mexico . I could learn new languages and new cultures with these girls and the way they communicated with each other was really exciting . I hope and wish that we can continue with this program and come back and visit , and mentor more pepe .

Decidete Mujer ’ s “ A Different Girl ” program has allowed me to become a mentor to girls that will do great things in the future . I ’ ve never imagined having such an important role . I ’ ve not only been able to teach the girls through a STEM program Decidete Mujer developed I ’ ve also been able to learn new things from the girls . Coming form different countries , the girls ’ different nationalities have allowed me to see how different people think and how to be able to communicate and understand their way of thinking . Overall , the program has been a wonderful experience that has allowed me make a difference on at least one person from the several girls we worked with .
