She would grow up to be a great business woman...
Jennifer Sharpe, a 15-year-old from Dearborn, plans to travel to Europe with her troop with the proceeds from her feat.
"It's always been one of those goals I wanted to accomplish," Sharpe said Wednesday.
The two bakeries that make the cookies said Sharpe sold more than anyone this year, according to Dianne Thomas, spokeswoman for the Girl Scouts of Metro Detroit.
What do you think of her?

That's great that she was able to do that...but that's a lot of cookies! Where do you even begin to go to make so many sales?! I had a hard enough time when I was in Girl Scouts being able to make it to 100 boxes, and that was with friends and family buying the majority! Congrats to her!

That is fabulous! I know that took a lot of work as we sold cookies this year and we only sold about 500 and it was tough. I am amazed that one person could sell that many cookies in a short period of time.
She will be a great business woman in the future and she should do really well in sales. I think that she will have plenty of offers for work after this feat. I hope that she enjoys the trip to Europe.
