When asked why she loves P.E.A.R.L.S. she replied, "One of our P.E.A.R.L.S. Values is empathy. With empathy we get a chance to help people and see how other people live. We learn to treat the janitor the same as we would the C.E.O. I've learned a lot about sisterhood and meeting other girls in our organization.
