Meet Your Neighbor: Kayla Grant

“My middle school [J.H.S. 157] introduced me to the Summer Photography Program at QCH last year, and then through that I was introduced to Access For Young Women.

“During Access For Young Women, I get to express how I feel about different things going on in my life. I get feedback from others and then I understand how to deal with the situation better. We also discuss different subjects, like relationships, self-confidence and leadership, and we do activities surrounding them.

“Since being in the program, I’ve learned to take a leadership role. Before the program I was a follower, but now I take pride in what I do and I’m not afraid to open up to others. If you try your best in Access for Young Women, you’ll become stronger and learn more about other people than you ever imagined.”
