ultimately it's personal, so your goal shouldn't always be to create the coolest website or get the most visitors -- focus on what matters to you and what has helped you work on Personal Progress -- that's something I really regret not doing enough of and I'm always so inspired by young women who are doing that.

S&S: If you could give one piece of advice to girls all over the world about personal progress, what would it be? Why?

PPH: Personal Progress is more than a checklist, it's a way of life! Look for opportunities everywhere in your life to serve others and develop spiritually and you'll be surprised at how much you can do. Looking back, every single thing I did in Personal Progress was because it's something I was interested in, and it literally changed my life. Personal Progress has directly affected my education, career, and family in very big ways, and it's changed who I am. When you internalize Personal Progress, it will change you for the better.

S&S: Is there any modern day people you look up to? If so, who and why?

PPH: I have a lot of modern-day role models. Right now, a person I'm specifically impressed with is Sister Bonnie Oscarson, Young Women General President. She's very direct in her approach to teaching. She isn't afraid to talk about hard things that need to be said, but she does it with so much grace. You can just tell that she has a solid foundation and a deep love of the Savior and her family. I would honestly love to grow up to be like her.
