Hi.

My name is Sarah Berthelet and I'm fourteen.

Last Fall, I was invited to Washington, D.C. for the Children's National Prayer Congress and National Day of Prayer. I was thrilled! A friend told us about Maggie O'Farrill's Etiquette and Social Graces Course so we enrolled.  In this course, I learned about conversation, how to walk, remember people's names along with all the table etiquette and a ton of other stuff.  This really prepared me each step of the way and helped me to be more confident when I attended a very fancy banquet in the Mayflower Hotel. This course made me more secure when I gave  my speech, when my team received a special pass to tour the White House, and when I met many politicians. Not only has this course helped me in Washington, D.C., but also when I went to my school's Spring Banquet and Dance. I could relax and enjoy. As the saying goes, you never know when you may need to know etiquette, you may end up in the White House like I did.
