Poll: Sexy reading makes women swoon
Thursday, July 9
Dearborn resident Jennifer Sharpe, 15, was honored Wednesday for her sales accomplishments at a Girl Scouts of Metro Detroit ceremony in Livonia, Mich., the Detroit Free Press reported.
"Make a goal, and don't give up on it," she said.
Sharpe said she peddled her cookies six days-a-week at a booth outside Cherry Hill Presbyterian Church and on Sundays in front of an auto parts shop.
"When I was young, I knocked on doors. Now that I'm older, I get too many rejections face to face. People don't want to buy from a 15-year-old. They want to buy from a cute little Brownie," Sharpe said.
The profits from the cookie sails are being spent on a visit to Europe for Sharpe's entire troop, the Free Press said.
