L’histoire de Sophia
I met this 11 year old girl. She looks innocent (even though she really isn’t). Damn these people with innocent faces. They can fool anyone. *cough* *Cindy* *cough* *Sophia* Anywayyyyyyy… she cool. Yeah, she cool. And she is weird, even though she denies it. Tsk. Kids… Like most tweens her age, she loves one direction. Hahaha. :’D She also likes mcdonalds..who doesn’t? FOOOOOOOD. We all like food. But still, she is so active. It hurts. I really does. ;n; Sadlife guys. You know what? Im out.
Biography of Vicki
I met a girl named Vicki. She is 14 years old and would call herself a computer freak without a life. Vicki loves food, especially pho and other asian food. Like any other reasonable teens, she likes ice cream more than school. I remember when she told me a sad story about her many dead fish. Even though Vicki is, very normally, addicted to the internet, she’s really funny and maybe too honest.
Vivians coolio life
Vivian is so weird. She likes math and geography. Who likes school?! Not me. Hehe. Even though she likes biking, and zip lining, she’s scared of balls. Hahaha 😀 I guess gym isn’t her thang. Btw, she fangirls too much. Shes like so in love with Marianas Trench. You should see her Facebook statuses. LOL Anyway, she also likes food. YEYYYYYY FOOOOOOD, :’)
Our Favourite Moments
Sophia: My favorite moment in girls club was when we were preparing for the International Woman’s Day Party and we made the batter for the cookies and also got to shape the cookies. I remember when we were trying to use a mixer in the flat pan and the batter ALMOST went everywhere.
Vicki: Now that I actually remember what we did (Sad life), I had quite a lot of favourite moments. Firstly my favourite moment with the girls is the skating trip. Even though I can’t skate, it was fun being a grandma. The food was good too. I had fun trying to follow my friends. But it was kind of sad that the girls can skate and I’m just there like “O_O”.
Another moment I liked was when we had the international women’s day party. Omgerd. The cooooookiessssss. I liked watching everyone decorate their cookie. I tried decorating one too. It didn’t do so well. Hahaha. I also made a cute little feather 😀 I watched when the little girls made their feathers. They were so cute.
Lastly, this isn’t a moment with the younger girls. This is another occasion with the mentors. It was nice not having to limit our speech and what we talk about. The meetings are geared towards teenagers, so we get to learn something. E.g. Media.
Vivian: My favourite moment in the girls group is when we made poems out of a compilation of words. I enjoyed how the activity involved the ideas of both the mentors and the younger girls. It brought out an intellectual and a creative side of us. I thought it was very inspiring to see the young girls know so much about the significance and the contributions of females across the world.
I also like when the mentors speak about teen issues openly. As a result, our group feels very close and comfortable with each other. I think it is also very important how we talk about the influence of media and society on teens and females, and how they can distort and skew our rights. I think that our group allows girls to learn about important issues at a young age in a fun and relaxed manner.
What does girls’ space mean to us?
Girls’ space is a boys-free place that allows us females to talk openly about issues, such as those concerning our gender. Girls’ space addresses issues such as bullying, abuse, body image, and gender stereotypes (men are more powerful than women). We are free to openly communicate with each other and discuss these issues (sometimes our personal issues) with each other to help us alleviate the pain. In addition to bringing awareness to these issues, girls’ space also allows us to have fun and be who we are without constantly worrying how we appear to males, and their opinions of us.
