I'm Ms. Berghoudian, and I am a mentor to the Girls Build team. Over the course of my career, I have worked with students in grades Pre-K all the way up to 12th grade. I am currently the College & Career Coach and Magnet Coordinator at Sutter MS. I work closely with all of our teachers and students. In addition to teaching, I am a mentor to a girls group, called Kind Club, which I founded four years ago. I teach students about the importance of being kind to others and themselves.
My name is Sherlin, I am 13 years old, and I am a member of Girls Build LA. I’m an 8th-grade student at Sutter middle school. I joined Girls Build LA because when I was in 6th grade I would get bullied a lot and thought I had to change who I am so I could fit in. But I want to help others not go through what I went through. Also help others understand that they don’t have to change themselves just to fit in. When I grow up I want to be an interior designer or a teacher. In my free time, I like to hang out with friends and go to Starbucks and play volleyball, soccer, and some days help the homeless.
