Lilach: A Blossoming Young Woman

Youth in School
Lilach had a reputation for being quiet and introverted. Her teachers were vaguely aware that she had personal problems at home and attributed her quietness and lack of friends to her family issues. Last year, Lilach joined the ENP-Atidim program and with much work, her ENP teachers have peeled away the layers of a quiet, introverted girl to discover a curious, bright intellectual young woman. As it turns out, Lilach is extremely intelligent; her smarts were hidden under the guise of social ineptness. Today, Lilach is a social butterfly who has realized that her brains are a tool that she can use to express herself. No one would guess that the girl who is excitedly yelling out the answers in the class, even if she is not sure if the answer is right, was once sitting quietly in the corner. Thanks to ENP, Lilach has transformed into a self-confident young women who has dreams and plans for the future.
