Vision

Please explain what you hope to gain by participating in RYLA.

I hope to learn more about leadership and be able to become a leader in my community and sports activities.

Rotary’s motto is “service above self.” What does that mean to you?

It means to look to others first. If you get something make sure everyone else has something. If someone gets hurt you help them before yourself

Detasseling from July 15 – August 4 for 4 years. First two years I had to walk up and down rows of corn and pull tassels from the female row so they don’t cross pollinate. For the next two years I was assigned 4 people and had to walk behind them in the rows to make sure they didn’t miss anything and lead them.
