27、 Girl Scouts(女童军) gave me a way to always feel at home, no matter where I moved.
I was born in Nebraska, but my first Girl Scouts troop was in North Dakota. We then moved to Utah when I was in the third grade, and I was in Girl Scouts of Utah from third grade until I graduated from the 12th grade in 1999.
When I got to Utah, I was the new kid in school, as we moved in January, about halfway through the school year. Making friends was hard. I don’t remember how long after we moved that my mom reached out to the local Girl Scouts council and found me a troop(队伍).
I remember that the girls in the troop welcomed me with open arms. It was nice to have friends to eat lunch and play with on the playground. My mom ended up becoming the leader of that troop, too! Girl Scouts was the connection to a new place. It was a way for me to make friends and meet people and gave me a sense of home.
After attending college in Utah, I moved to California and eventually got a job working for Angeles Girl Scout Council. I learned a lot while in Girl Scouts, including leadership skills and money management, but this has been the most useful skill that I learned: that Girl Scouts are connected to each other.
Thinking back, I first moved here with no job. I was living with my dad’s cousin and wasn’t really sure if it was going to work or if I was going to stay, but 16 years later, I’m still here—thanks in large part to the Girl Scouts.
I spent Thanksgiving with my co-workers at the Girl Scouts when I couldn’t go back home, I celebrated birthdays with them, and watched their kids grow up. I’ve learned and grown so much from the co-workers and the troop leaders that I have met through my job. Even as an adult, the Girl Scouts remain that connection and that lifeline for me—they are my extended family. That lesson is priceless!
【1】The author joined the Girl Scouts in Utah because ______.
A.her friends introduced her
B.it was the rule of the new school
C.her mom was the leader a Girl Scouts troop
D.it was a good way to connect to a new place
【2】How did the author feel when she first moved to California?
A.Frightened. B.Hopeless. C.Uncertain. D.Lonely.
【3】What is the most important lesson the author learned from her experience at the Girl Scouts?
A.Difficulties help us become stronger.
B.A good leader is important to a team.
C.A valuable person is one with useful skills.
D.Where you can find a sense of belonging is home.
