Vision

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

I hope to gain more confidence in my leadership ability, and be able to have a fun experience during the summer that simultaneously builds my resume for college applications and scholarships.

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

It is more important to care for your community, than to care only for yourself.
