Recently, The Dr. Harriet Braiker Memorial Foundation took 42 high school girls -- 32 freshman and 10 specially-trained Senior Leaders -- on an innovative three-day weekend retreat to teach them leadership skills, as well as training in self-esteem and self-confidence.
At the conclusion of the retreat, all girls completed an evaluation form, and also were asked:
Describe briefly how the retreat affected
you.
and
What was the most important skill
you learned at the retreat?
