Vision

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

By participating in RYLA I hope to gain many things. I have heard RYLA really helps you get out of your comfort zone and try new things. I am always up for meeting new people and trying different and fun things. I hope to learn how to become a good leader and someone that people look up to. Another one of my goals is to make new friends and become a better person overall.

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

The motto “service above self” is very important to me. I love giving back to my community by helping at the food pantry, collecting cans for the canned food drive, and doing other things. I think it is very important to put those in need above yourself.

Past and Current Experience

Have you ever volunteered before? – Yes

List any past or present volunteer experiences including dates volunteered and position responsibilities.

I have volunteered at the food pantry and also worked at athletic events. I was a student manager in junior high for both basketball and volleyball. I have also gone around town and collected cans from people to donate to the food drive.

Do you currently have a job? – Yes

List up to three past or current paid job experience including dates employed and responsibilities. Start with your most recent

I am currently employed at two places. I work at Pizza Hut and Miletta Vista Winery in Saint Paul Nebraska. At both places, it is my job to talk to the customers and make them feel like they are welcome. I always try to have conversations with them and get to know them like they aren’t just customers. At Pizza Hut I have several other responsibilities as well. I have to make sure the food is correct before giving it to the customers. I really enjoy both jobs and it really helps me get out of my comfort zone.
