Vision

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

I hope to increase my leadership abilities, make new friends, have fun, and to become a more well-rounded person.

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

To me, service above self means putting others above your own personal needs. I have always enjoyed helpnig others out simply for the sake of being kind.
