YW Recognition Award

OK so that last post was actually to lead up to this one...
On Wednesday December 7th 2011 I got my YW Recognition Award! 

It was during our YW in Excellence which is a program at the end of the year where everyone can show off what they have accomplished in Personal Progress that year. I was the last person to get up and talk about what I had done. I didn't have much to show off so I just gave all that highlights of the last few years doing the PP program. Then I got my necklace. And yeah I don't really know what else there is to say but...I'M DONE!

Alright, so I know you are just dieing to know what I did in PP.

Virtue (Gold)
 This value is a little different. I did all 4 required and read the Book of Mormon for the project, which is also required.

Passed off on: October 9, 2010 

The one thing I learned: it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.  I think that's true with most projects though. If you just start you will find it's not as bad as you expected it to be. Maybe that's why I am attempting to start Personal Progress over again...

Am I crazy?
