Vision

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

I hope to gain leadership experience that I can take with me and apply to my everyday life. I am involved in many leadership positions in various activities and I’m always looking to learn more and become better.

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

To me, this means that a leader should value his or her contribution to an effort more than the personal gain that could come along with it.
