Girls learn life skills
muiiiquely ME! sessions
iH| »r I'v» tr ; 'r I,.
'’Me II
By Sara Weiner

Girl Scouts Council
The hallways of West Hoke Middle
School are crammed with students
weaving their way to buses waiting
outside. Several girls form a small
group near one classroom and they
greet each other enthusiastically,
shrieking each other's names and talk
ing about their day.
The door opens and the girls file
into the schools chorus room, arrang
ing chairs. Backpacks decorated with
pins, buttons, and patches are tossed
in a heap by the door and the girls rock
back and forth in their chairs waiting
to find out what they’ll be doing this
day.
These girls are members of West
Hoke Middle School’s uniquely ME!
group. Targeting girls ages 8-14 in
underserved communities, the pro
gram helps girls build skills neces
sary to face life’s challenges.
The core curriculum integrates the
latest research from the Girl Scouts
Research Institute and includes ac
tivities that help girls understand and
build self-esteem.
Topics the girls have explored in
clude substance abuse and proper hair
care.
“You all sound like the army in
here! Calm down! shouts Consuela
MePhatter, a uniquely ME! program
assistant who means business. After
a few more outbursts and giggles, the
girls settle down and listen to the
agenda for the afternoon.
“Today we’re doing a service
project,” says Consuela, still fighting
for control of the room. “We’re going
to make smallpox vaccination pack
ets. What do you know about small
pox?”
“My mom needs to get a shot for it
‘cause she’s in the Army and I can’t
be around her when she does,” says
Shayla, a petite seventh-grader with
stars embroidered on her jeans and an
“angel” in rhinestones on her shirt.
“That’s right,” says Consuela.
“We’re going to help out healthcare
workers by putting together packages
of supplies they’ll need for the small
pox vaccinations. Now I need three
volunteers.” Before she can even fin
ish every girls’ hand is waving in the
air.
Three girls are chosen to count out
gauze pads, dressings, and rolls of
tape. Other girls fill plastic bags with
the piles of supplies. They form an
assembly line and after some disor
der, the packages are assembled.
The service project is the first the
girls have completed as agroup. Typi
cally, meetings are centered on a sub
ject for the week. The girls discuss
that topic as a group, or in smaller
groups, and most meetings include an
interactive component as well.
After discussing media messages,
the girls broke into groups and cre
ated their own TV ads and acted them
out for the rest of the group. They also
do a hands-on activity at each meet
ing during the discussion or the sec
ond half of the meeting.
The program includes exercises
about recognizi ng one s strengths and
best attributes, handling peer pres
sure, healthy eating habits, hygiene,
general wellness, exercise, and iden
tifying core values and interests.
Depending on the age level of a
uniquely ME! group, additional in
formation about eating disorders, re
lationships, and stress is also covered.
In North Carolinasix counties have
uniquely ME! program sites —
Cumberland, Hoke, Moore, Rich
mond, Robeson, and Scotland coun
ties. Halfof the sites are middle schools
and half are elementary. Some school
administrator decide which girls will
participate, sometimes by grade level
or specifically selected girls counse
lors perceive as “at risk.”
In Hoke County uniquely ME!
consistently serves 75 girls a week.
The problem of low self-esteem is
pervasive among adolescent girls in
the United States. Research conducted
by the Girl Scout Research Institute
and other organizations demonstrates
that risky behavior such as smoking,
drinking, unsafe sexual behavior, eat
ing disorders, suicidal tendencies and
self-mutilative behavior are often as
sociated with low self-esteem.
Unilever has donated a total of
$2.65 million to the 13 program sites
across the country and has committed
employee volunteer time to the
uniquely ME! program.
Unilever employees also contrib
ute to the program through mentoring
activities with Girl Scout troops, par
ticipation in annual community ser
vice events.
For the rest of the meeting, the
girls at WHMS present a talent show,
and Consuela wraps up the meeting.
“I had no idea of the talent in this
room,” she says. “I am so proud pf
each one of you and I just hope you’ll
choose to use your talents wisely.”
