Vision

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

I hope that I gain a better understanding of myself as an individual in a social environment. This will develop my leadership skills while having a balance of fun and learning.

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

Being selfless is an important life skill because when you give back to something you enjoy, it makes your time invested worthwhile since you get a satisfactory feeling of knowing that you made an impact on someone. It is taking your time and putting it towards something or someone with a knowledge that it will have a great effect on them and that you were responsible for it.

Past and Current Experience

Have you ever volunteered before? – Yes

I was a Girl Scout for 10 years starting when I was 6 years of age, around 2013. That experience enabled me to learn how to lead and contribute in a group of like minded girls. I am an active volunteer in my school and I have put together a library complete with seasonal décor and an organizational system that categorizes the books. I have also been with Natalie’s Child Care for 4 years and counting. Some of my duties there are caring for children, making snacks, and being a teacher to them so they are learning through play.
