Vision

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

I want to be able to gain leadership experience and learn more about how I can help others. Leadership is important to me because I enjoy working with others to better others’ lives. Hopefully, I can find ways to be helpful in my own community.

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

I believe it means that we should first look to the interests of others before ourselves. Considering others well-being more important than your own personal gain in vital in creating a healthy community.
