Values Auction

What value's would you pay for as a gurantee in life?

This is the question that faced our girls in class Friday March 19, 2010. The values auction was led by counselor Allie Boyer. Each girl was given $1000.00 and a list of values. Some of the values included were fame, a second home in the beach or mountains, living in the city or country, healthy children, time to excercise, etc. When the "auctioneer" would read off a value, such as "healthy children", every girl got a chance to bid on it. Surprisingly no girl bid for fame! One of the highest bidded items was laughter and having a sense of humor. Each girl was told that whichever value they bought was guranteed to them for life. At the end of the session, what each girl bid on was a reflection of their core values.
