Vision

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

What I hope to gain by participating in RYLA are confidence and courage. Just learning what being a leader is all about, making sure people feel comfortable around me as their leader, and making sure that they feel that their ideas and opinions are valid, that someone is actually hearing them and not just pushing them aside. But also having the courage to say my ideas.

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

Rotary motto “service above self” means to me that it’s not about some cool reward we get for doing a good deed, but about how good it makes us feel on the inside, how we feel that our actions and service actually made a difference in someone’s lives. even though getting a reward is good at times, that’s not always what giving service is all about.
