21st Century Leaders

Turner Youth Voices has been a program where 75 people from the state of Georgia were brought in from over 38 schools in 20 counties. I was given the very fortunate opportunity to make it into the program, and here are 8 reasons that you should apply as well.

1. Connections with new people

With 75 people from 38 schools in 20 counties, there are going to be so many new people you will meet there.

2. Connect with top-level executives

From a news anchor to an accountant, you meet people who are very passionate about their jobs.

3. Can help find a career path

Not sure what you want to do? Well, this camp will show you the numerous career paths that are there in a single company.

4. Lots of activities

From the basic name game, to various other activities such as jazz dancing and sharks and minnows.

5. Helps you get into a strict schedule

Go to bed at 11 PM and get up by 6 AM- a feat that is not common in the summertime.

6. Improves speaking skills

Giving a speech can be nerve- racking, but once you give it a try, it really gives you the confidence to do it many times.

7. Experience a College Campus

The program is held at Georgia Tech, and the campus there is a wonderful sight.

8. Teaches about leadership

It's in the name itself- being a 21st- Century Leader is a big honor, and not only have you done so many activities, you also learn how to develop the potential leadership that is brimming in you.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
