Vision

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

I hope to gain good memories with people around my age and hopefully learn some new things, seek new experiences and have a bit of variety in my life. I wish to know more about what leadership truly is, indicated by the name of RYLA.

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

“Service above self”, to me, means to put your service to others above your own opinions and thoughts. It means to put aside any prejudice or feeling you may have and focus on giving someone the best service possible. Service above self is to do your absolute best no matter who you’re working with or what you are doing.
