About.I am a Girl Scout and high school senior. For my Gold Award project, I combined my love for English and for working with children to teach several writing lessons to underserved middle-schoolers who attend local public schools. I addressed the achievement gap in writing between low-income children and their higher-income peers, which translates into their predicted academic success in high school, college, and beyond. Through my class , the scholars were able to establish a foundation on which they can continue to develop their writing skills.
