8 Reasons You Should Join 21st Century Leaders
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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
