Vision

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

I would love to participate in the RYLA youth leadership camp because I am currently a new member of Interact and I love everything that Rotary stands for. I am anxious to build on my skills of leadership and meet new Interact and Rotary friends across the state.

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

“Service above self” means to me helping others when they need it even without them asking for help. It also means getting involved in my community, and realizing the world is bigger than me. I want to learn from it, grow from it, and foster goodwill along the way.
