During the May Special Council Presentation Ceremony, Hometead Councilmember Erica G. Ávila recognized a local Girl Scout who single handedly sold almost $20,000 worth of product.
Sophia Zamora, 10, received a certificate of recognition for having sold a grand total of 3,820 Girl Scout Cookie boxes in just six weeks.
“Not only is it important to recognize the hard work and entrepreneurial skills of a young lady, but as a Girl Scout, she made the top cookie seller in Miami-Dade County,” Councilmember Ávila said. “We are all very proud of her.”
All the girls in Troop 1855 were called to the dais where Sophia received a Certificate of Achievement. The money raised by Sophia will help fund this new troop, which has been able to get back into action after the pandemic.
Councilmember Larry Roth remarked Sophia’s sales pitch was flawless: she would offer four boxes for $20 and accept nothing less.
When asked what her favorite part of the process was, Sophia simply replied, “I like persuading people to buy more.”
