In a society that is constantly evolving, it is essential for the girl-child to develop self-awareness and possess good etiquette. These qualities are crucial in shaping their personal growth, enabling them to make confident decisions and empowering them to become leaders in various spheres of society. The recent seminar by Chinwe Nkiru Okafor, Programmes Manager of 'Give Girls a Chance,' shed light on the importance of self-awareness and good etiquette for the girl-child. Let's delve into some key takeaways from her enlightening session with Premiere Academy female students:
Self-Awareness: Unlocking Inner Potential
Self-awareness is the foundation upon which personal development is built. It involves understanding one's strengths, weaknesses, values, and aspirations. During the seminar, it was emphasized that the girl-child must recognize her unique qualities and value in every aspect of life. By nurturing qualities like self-esteem, self-motivation, and self-discipline, she can harness her full potential and contribute meaningfully to her family, schools, and society. Self-awareness also plays a vital role in decision-making, enabling humans to make choices that align with their passions and goals.
Self-Confidence: Embracing Personal Worth
Self-awareness breeds self-confidence and diminishes feelings of inferiority. By recognizing her worth and not relying on external validation, the girl-child will become empowered to make independent decisions and assert herself in various situations. A self-aware girl understands her strengths and is not afraid of showcasing her uniqueness, attracting others with her charisma, intelligence, and authenticity. Through self-awareness, the girl-child will develop the ability to communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, and make informed choices that will shape her present and future.
Etiquette: Polishing Social Interactions
Good etiquette forms the bedrock of respectful and harmonious interactions amongst people. It encompasses display of respect for elders, exhibiting proper conduct in public, addressing issues diplomatically, practicing dining manners, maintaining modesty in dressing, and upholding general neatness and hygiene. Girls who possess good etiquette create a positive impression, radiate grace and poise in their interactions. Such behaviour helps them establish strong relationships, gain the trust of others, and navigate social situations with confidence.
The seminar which featured Chinwe Nkiru Okafor as a guest highlighted the significance of self-awareness and good etiquette in empowering the girl-child. Girls who are self-aware are equipped with the tools to discover their true potential, communicate effectively, and make informed decisions that will shape their lives. By embodying good etiquette, the girl-child will cultivate respect, integrity, and social grace, enhancing her personal and professional relationships
