What Makes This Place Special
It is an inspiring thing to be surrounded by other women who share the same aspirations as you do. Before attending OK Girls State it was rare to find peers that wanted to go the extra mile and contribute to society in positive ways. Girls State is special because you are standing amongst hundreds of future leaders that understand your goals and your why. Personally, I am excited to continue this experience with these young ladies. I cannot wait to learn more about how to make an effective impact on this world.

Women Empowerment
From the first day, all the delegates have been so nice and uplifting I have not come across a girl, counselor, or director who isn’t smiling or complimenting us. Women today, especially young women need all the positivity we can get. And our speaker on the 1st day did just that. As I sat in the audience I was in awe. She congratulated us for being chosen for Girls State and told us how special we are, which made us feel good! She gave us really good advice that will stick with many of us forever Being here has taught me that whenever I need back up, these girls will have my back no matter what We all possess leadership qualities and enjoy each other's company. All the girls want to see their peers succeed as well as themselves. It is a great environment to be in, seeing so many girls lift each other up. I can’t wait for the rest of the week. It will be one for the books!
