Zena Al-Saidali Recipient of a $5,000 Lucille Miller Wright National Scholarship

Zena Al-Saidali felt at home, welcomed, and appreciated through Girls Inc. She says Girls Inc. pulled her out of a darkness, opened its arms widely and gave her a big welcome hug. Through the program, she gained confidence and was introduced to college life. She adds that being in an all-girl setting eliminated the pressure, shyness and comparison that occurs when boys are present. She felt more engaged to ask questions and understand how to make the right choices for herself instead of ignoring her concerns. Zena shares, “Girls Inc. assured me of how Strong, Smart and Bold I am.”
