The first day of school, when I signed
up for the Youth Leadership Council, I never would have imagined it would have
impacted by life as much as it did. The
friends and memories I have made will last me a lifetime.
YLC is not just any club though, throughout
my four years of YLC I have felt my confidence go up, I have learned how to be
a strong leader and I have become a productive public speaker. I have also learned how to use prevention
strategies to breakdown a community to find what drug and alcohol problems they
may be facing. I have even been given
two opportunities, through YLC and the SAFE Coalition, to attend CADCA in
Washington, D.C. While attending CADCA,
I learned how to properly speak to our state officials and even got an
opportunity to work with them on what we can do to help our sate and
community.
Van Buren County is lucky to have a club
like YLC. I feel like I have helped
change our community for the better and I encourage any student in High School
to join YLC and do the same.
