The local banks were usually where my troop
would host their cookie booth sales. Selling cookies can be fun, but it
is so
much more than
that.
Selling cookies was for three purposes: to make money
for the troop, to earn cookie selling points for yourself, and to
collect boxes
to send over to the soldiers in Iraq.
Updated May 3rd, 2009| Working together for a common goal is always a
challenge in some way, but in the end, it is also rewarding. Cornel
West even says, "A grand story and a large narrative--especially
democratic ones--can channel their longings into mature efforts to
contribute in a meaningful way to making the world a better place"
(West). As Girl Scouts, we all contributed to a big project of not just
selling cookies, but also trying to raise support for the troops.
Actions like these are what help make the world a better place, even if
it is on a small scale. Everyone has a different path for reaching that
common goal, and each path tells a specific story. In the end, those
stories make up that grand story and that large narrative. |
