We would like to thank all the girls who spoke to us over the years and helped us with the content of this book. We received input from communities all around Manitoba. Girls from Brandon, Gimli, Lac Brochet, Thompson, Flin Flon, The Pas and Winnipeg offered excellent suggestions for this guide. We also got great feedback from Manitoba teachers, parents and other adults.

Follow your Dreams

We should all have something to look forward to (ex: a dream, a goal) no matter how young or old we are. We encourage you to use this guide to help you decide the kinds of goals you want to accomplish. Once you decide what you want, you can begin to take the next step toward making your dreams a reality.
