Because I was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when I was 17, I never really had the chance to complete my Young Women's Personal Progress program, nor did I realize back then just how important this program is for our young women in the church. And now, 6 years later I am working towards completing this awesome program! My goal is to have it completely done in a year, by May 2010! Just recently, I have felt as if I need to complete this program to not only learn and gain knowledge scripturally, but also so that I can be an example to my girls someday and help them complete this program as well. I am so excited to do this! Wish me luck!

I actually never received mine as well since I graduated early, but that is one goal I have for myself. I have had those same feelings and I am bothered at myself that I didn't try harder while I was in Young Woman's. Maybe that is why I am in it now :)
I worked so hard to finish mine under the old program and actually did complete it... I never got my pendent or award though... maybe I should look into that :)
You are amazing! keep up the awesome work!
That is SUCH a worthy goal, Ashleigh!! I'm so glad you are doing this--it will be a great example for the girls. I finished mine under the old program, and I still have all my jewelry--even now it still means a lot to me.
I love it!! I did earn mine but this year they just added a new value....virtue. So there is a additional value that I haven't done anything on. So I am going to work on that one also! My calling is in young women's and so that gives me some motivation to do it. You are a great example!! Good luck... and don't forget the new value...virtue. I think you have to order the new value experiences for virtue because they arn't in the book yet.
That is amazing. I never finished mine, and I'm so impressed you're doing this.
That is so good of you. I didn't realize you were baptized at 16...was your family baptized then, too? I was 20 and so now that I'm in the YW program I'm working on mine. Keep me updated with your progress so you can keep me going, too! :)
That's awesome, Ashleigh!! My mother-in-law did the same thing when she was a YW leader. I think it's such a great way to set goals and achieve them and note your progress. It will be fun to hear about what your projects are.
Ash-
I am so proud of you and think that this is a great goal. I have worked with the YW in our ward for my calling and I think personal progress is really important. Keep it up!!
