Beehive, MIA-Maid, Laurel

The above names are titles representing rank of young female Mormon ladies. I attended classes and graduated through each title with honors. I enjoyed my time in each of the classes. The church took fresh little girls who had graduated from Primary and gave them the honor of progressing up to what is called the Young Women's Organization.
I was very nervous when I first became a Beehive. I didn't have to go to Wednesday after school classes anymore, but I had to go to early evening classes instead! What joy I felt to know that I was considered a young woman. It's crazy to feel joyous about being nervous though. As a Beehive, I learned how to "bee" everything the Mormon church wanted, whatever that consisted of. There was so much to learn and so little time. I could exhaust my brain trying to remember everything.
Now, the MIA-Maids were the in betweeners. It's kinda like being a middle child; old enough to be moved from being a bee to being a maid, but not old enough to be a bird. I impressed quite a few people in my church ward. I started getting letters of "Thank You" and "In Appreciation". It wasn't long before my parents started getting this same type of letters stating appreciation of my good works. I still have some of the letters. According to my advisers, I was the best maid that my church ward had. By-the-way, MIA-Maids did basically the same things as Beehives. The only difference was that MIA-Maids were a little higher in rank.
On to the Laurels. I was so good at being a little bee and a little maid that I was made president over the Laurels throughout the whole time I was a Laurel. The Laurels were the top of the Young Women's Organization. I put my heart and soul in that class for two years straight. The only difference about this group was that I could drive to my classes on Wednesday until the church changed the way Mormon's worshiped. The church changed all classes from Wednesday to Sunday and that made for a long day!
Well, as you can see, I got a lot of programing up to this point from being in the Young Woman's Organization. It was part of the foundation that the church layed so I could be the perfect Mormon woman.
