Vision

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

I am hoping to learn lessons that will help me in the future. I know that leadership is a very important skill that I will need for my future. I can sometimes struggle to connect with people; I hope to become better at social interactions.

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

To me, service above self means always seeing the bigger picture before focusing on your own needs. It is about being selfless and caring for others needs before your own.
