Instead, it seems that participating in this program enhances their academic achievement.

Editor's Notes
- This was the data collected.
- This is the Bar chart of academic performance survey which shows almost no difference in around 70% of data.
- This is the Bar chart of spirituality survey shows women to be more spiritual.why?As women mature, they inevitably question who they are. Their identities are always changing. They are single, then married; childless, then mothers; making choices between caregiving and working outside the home. It appears that men’s roles are more constant, more defined in society from the beginning, and deeply enmeshed in cultural and genetic programming to provide, take care of, produce, and do. Men feel they know why they are. They know what’s expected of them, what they’ll need to do in life to “make it,” and how they must go about it. Because of the fluctuating nature of women’s roles and responsibilities, they are constantly self-monitoring. Their attention is focused inward on their feelings, and the feelings of those around them. All the while, they maintain primary responsibility for the nurturing and education of the next generation.
