Summer Goals

Roosevelt Middle School, Compton, California

200 young women filled the halls of the Roosevelt Middle School in Compton on Saturday, flooding into the auditorium waiting for the kickoff of an all day Empowering Conference.  Following an introduction and DJ music, the young scholars broke out into workshop sessions.

WWW was ready in room 109 with it's Sticky Note Art Campaign.  In a goal setting workshop taught by WWW Co-Founder and Executive Director Debra Postil, she asked the young women to write down their summer goals on sticky notes along with words of motivation to get them there.  She also passed around a monthly calendar, asking them to pick a date on the calendar and write it there too.  The young scholars wrote fearlessly, filling notes with messages  ranging from "start reading James Patterson books" to "I will sing" and "play basketball."


"Reaching a goal starts by writing it down," Ms. Postil said.  By the end of the workshop, the young scholars filled a foam board with bright purple and orange sticky notes, arranging them into the words "I will."
