Hugh O Brian Youth Leadership Analysis

Improved Essays
Ever since I was young, I've had the desire to leave world knowing I made a lasting positive impact; as Northmont’s ambassador to the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Seminar, I could meet others who experienced the same inner drive as a child and managed to turn their ambitions into reality. I don't want to live life idly, noticing problems and complaining about them, but never making any steps to resolve the issues. Such a life seems wasteful, when every human is born with the potential to change the world. Instead, I intend to make use of every ounce of time given to me, changing the world instead of watching it. With the help of HOBY, I can receive the tools and encouragement I need to push me along on my journey, both achieving my dreams
