Make a goal, don’t give up on it, and you will achieved it one day that’s what Jennifer Sharpe said and that’s true! Jennifer Sharpe is a 15-year-old girl who has sold 17,328 boxes of Girl Scout cookies by setting up shop on a street corner. Today, the Girl Scouts of Metro Detroit is honoring Jennifer for her record-breaking sales at a ceremony in Livonia.
“Make a goal, and don’t give up on it. Keep working for it, and one of these days, you’ll hit it,” she advised aspiring sellers. “When I was in third grade, the top seller was 10,176. … I turned to my mother and said, ‘That’s going to be me one day,’ and it took me seven years,” she said.
Jennifer, a fan of the Thin Mints, used a retail-inspired strategy. She set up shop in the parking lot of Cherry Hill Presbyterian Church in Dearborn. She manned that booth 3-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, she sold cookies outside a local auto parts store from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
