Vision

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

I hope to develop a servant leadership heart by learning about leadership opportunities and bringing back to my community a passion for serving and leading others. This will help me encourage others to also serve their community in a positive way.

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

To me, “service above self” means although I should look after myself, I should also look out for those around me. I should look for ways to be helpful to my community.
