For the past six years, I have been blessed to have participating in American Heritage Girls. I began my journey six years ago as an explorer, and worked hard to earn my Louis and Clark. Even at that age, I was working hard to be able to complete the goal of the Stars and Stripes award. I began to map out how I believed I would be able to complete it. I knew that I would truly begin that process as a Pioneer, and I was eager to begin. When I became a Pioneer, I was able to earn all of the required badges, which let me feel that I would be able to earn the Stars and Stripes. After completing my Harriet Tubman award, I was ready to continue on the journey as a Patriot. In the next level, I worked towards this award by earning my spiritual award, and my Dolley Madison.

I believe that I want to be able to say that I have been able to complete a difficult task; one that I knew would be difficult, but one that I believe that I will be able to accomplish. I want to be able to say that I was capable of completing such a difficult task, and while I know if won’t be easy, I believe that with the help of my troop and my family I will be able to do it. I know that I will not be able to do this alone, but I know that I have the support of my troop and my family. Within my own troop, we have had two girls work their way through the Stars and Stripes award, and complete it. From their experience I have been able to see how the process works, and which parts will be the most difficult.

Marlina (2015) discussed about patterning the quests of the heroes in question using Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. The author tries to demonstrate that the chosen female heroes for this research: Psyche, Artemis and Katniss, qualify as male heroes. According to traditional beliefs, differences between male and female behavior are genetically or biologically determined. However, recent research has discovered that these differences are actually based on the gender concept or socially constructed. Miller (2012) mentioned that gender is ‘the changeable roles, activities, behaviors, and personality features that a society views’ and is an ideal standard for men and women.

A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met.
