The summer before my junior year, I interned for Senator Rob Portman, which was my first hands-on experience with politics. I spent over 120 hours making phone calls, attending political functions, and talking to voters in Ohio. This experience helped me realize how important it is to delve deeper into the reason behind someone's opinion. During that same summer, I attended the Ohio 4-H Teen Leadership Camp, which radically changed my leadership style: I finally understood just how important trust, communication, and understanding are in being a good leader. I took what I learned from the Ohio 4-H Teen Leadership Camp to transition my 4-H club from advisor-led to member-led.
