I had a choice opportunity today. I went to Granite School District's "Teen Mother" program to speak on my platform. As with every new speaking assignment I always wonder how in the world I am going to relate to these girls. I was a little worried. I really wanted to be able to express what was in my heart to these young women that I was sure needed the message of coping with adversity.
It ended up being a wonderful experience. So many of the girls had huge smiles on their faces. They were very receptive to my message. It was such a wonderful experience. I have always loved public speaking, but these experiences I am having sharing my platform are the best I have ever had. There are so many people out there with stories of overcoming. It has taught me a lot of lessons on judging people. I have had the opportunity to speak at the Utah Women's prison. I met so many wonderful women there. This has been the best experience ever.
