Editor Note: During the JIW year, the girls learn about how to make healthy lifestyle choices. Inspired by lessons, executive director E. Moss shares her reflections on her culinary adventure in a recent trip to Spain. During my recent visit to Spain I was so amazed at the array of fresh fruits, vegetables, juices,cheese, breads,olives and seafood. So many fresh choices and full of color.

Saturday, October 9, 2010, the JIW girls took a trip to Fidelity for a job shadow. We arrived bright and early at the Fidelity building where we split up into groups and took a tour of the facilities.
