Pass On Strength Spotlights

To kick off our "Pass on Strength" 5K Fun Run, we will spotlighting various people throughout the upcoming weeks who have demonstrated strength and have a positive message to share with all of us! Please check back regularly to "meet" our spotlights and learn a little bit more about them!

Amber and Liz H. recently spoke to a group of girls (ages 8-15) at the USU extension! They had a blast creating different types of Play Dough models, talking about positive body image, and designing entries for the Self Esteem T-Shirt contest! While they were talking about "Beauty Through the Ages", they were asking why they thought they were showing them the different pictures of women from different era's and countries? One little girl raised her hand and said, "Because it shows us that what people all over the world think of beauty is different and it is always changing." What a smart group of young ladies! What a fun day!

Who Am I?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Marianne Williamson

Highland Middle School

Liz had the opportunity to go speak to the kids at Highland Middle School and talk to them about Peer Pressure. What a lively bunch! They were very responsive when they talked about how to make worthwhile choices and how important it is to set goals at their age so they can help themselves in the future! They also talked about how fame fades and someone like a sibling, parent, teacher, coach, etc. are the people who truly make difference in their lives and will leave an impact on them forever! Liz felt good about the presentation and said, "These kids are truly awesome and inspiring to me. I know it sounds a little cliche but I'm learning more from them than they are from me. It's such a fun opportunity to surround yourself with youth!" Way to go Liz!
