Friendships. Community. Leadership. Teamwork. Positivity. Potential. Talent. Respect.

These are some of the words that come to mind when I think about HOBY. As a high school sophomore, I never could have known how greatly this organization would impact my life. At the seminar, I learned about my ability to make a difference, became more confident, and realized the importance of accepting others for their own unique personalities and skills. I learned that sometimes being a leader means that you have to be a follower, and knowing the difference between those times is when you can accomplish great things. I carried those lessons throughout my college career in Architecture school at Auburn and into my professional career now as an Interior Designer with THW Design, a mid-sized firm in Atlanta. I work with people and clients from all over the United States, developing senior living facilities that embrace hospitality and home-like environments. I have volunteered off and on with HOBY for eleven years. I have made wonderful friends and continue to learn something new each time I volunteer. I love leading a group of teenage students and seeing them go from strangers to teammates to friends. HOBY truly is a bond that cannot be broken, and its lessons can be applied throughout every phase of life.
