"facebook dialogPinterest\n\nFounder of Reverse the Course, 13-year-old Mary Grace is not to be underestimated. In 2009, when Mary came across a headband that was reversible but not sewn well or easy to change, the then 12-year-old turned to her mom and said, &amp;quot;I can do it better.&amp;quot; Not deterred by her lack of sewing skills, Mary asked her parents to buy her a sewing machine as an early birthday present. After weeks learning how to use the machine, and a few minor setbacks, Mary finally made her first &amp;quot;fairly straight, almost decent&amp;quot; headband.\n\nFast-forward a few months later, and she had 30 stylish, reversible headbands in pretty patterns, ready to be sold at her local bookstore. But then came the tough part: Would the headbands sell, and if they did, what would she do with all the money? Mary decided that the one thing she wanted more than anything else was to help change someone\u2019s life. She decided that the proceeds from her headband sales would go directly to helping one girl get an education in a country where just going to high school would change her life and possibly even her community. Reverse the Course was born and by May 2010, the company had enough money to send three girls in Uganda to school.\n\nNot only do the headbands help change lives, but the fun patterns and bright colors make them the perfect addition to any Queen B\u2019s wardrobe. Plus, their reversible design doubles their wearability. So what are you waiting for? Head to reversethecourse.org and help change a girl\u2019s life--in style!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
