I’ve known Nicole* since the beginning of high school. I’ve seen her struggle with her eating disorder and I’ve seen her make a full recovery. Nicole has also done her Gold Award focusing on self esteem among middle school aged girls.
Nicole: “When I first came up with the topic for my Gold Award, I hadn’t even gotten treatment for everything that I was going through at the time. That was what confused me a little. I was so eager to help those who had the same kinds of issues that I had but when someone asked what was going on in my life I would ignore them or get mad.”
