it was about, but went in with an open mind. I am a singer-songwriter, so I
brought my guitar along, not really thinking anything of it, but at the talent
show, I played a song I had written. I didn’t know what to expect, but everyone
was so supportive of it and seemed to genuinely like it. I knew then that I’d
found my “family”. Since then, HOBY has provided a sense of belonging in my
community, and at school events when I don’t know anyone, there’s always
someone who I can find who went to HOBY! Even when I had my stroke in January
2016, and didn’t think that I could serve well, HOBY helped me realize that
anyone can serve. I loved going to HOBY last summer to speak to the ambassadors
about Project Linus. Some of my best memories are from when I’ve been at HOBY
and it’s provided me with lifelong friends!</span></div>

“Moonrise”<br />
(aka Anne Buckle, HOBY Georgia '04)

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.000000pt;">“Moonrise” is the first single from my new project WILDWOOD, which is a collection of darker
indie Americana songs that will be released via South x Sea Records throughout 2017. I came
up with the idea for “Moonrise” when I was in my apartment in Nashville at my piano one night
staring out the window. The moon was huge and orange, rising up in the night sky, and it looked
so spooky and ominous. I thought, when the moon rises, it sets the scene for darkness and
uncertainty in the night. I held onto the idea for a while and brought it with me to a co-write with
Brett Boyett in LA, where we wrote the song together months later, turning it into a ballad about
the uncertainties of love.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-weight: 700;">LISTEN TO “MOONRISE” ON SPOTIFY: </span></span><a href="http://open.spotify.com/album/1kt3stnMLRtamPSkZDCPip" rel="nofollow noopener" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration: none; widows: 2;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">open.spotify.com/album/1kt3stnMLRtamPSkZDCPip</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 700;">Where does the name WILDWOOD come from?
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.000000pt;">AP Carter of the Carter Family was my great uncle, and June Carter Cash was my grandma’s
first cousin. They were best friends, so I was lucky enough to know her and Johnny Cash when
I was a kid. Being a Carter is how I got into music - my two uncles had a recording studio in
Bristol, VA when I was little, and I first got to sing into an old ribbon microphone there when I
was 7. My uncle also gave me my first violin when I was 6, and that’s when I began playing
music. The name WILDWOOD comes from a Carter Family song recorded in 1928, “The
Wildwood Flower.” The lyrics tell a sad story: there’s a flower in the wildwood that is loved and
promised to be loved, and then one day, her love leaves and she’s left downhearted and
neglected. My family in Appalachia has always dealt with many trials, and there’s this tangible
soberness that exists there - at least for us there always was. It’s what gave the music such
depth. WILDWOOD as a name pays homage to my Carter Family roots, as well as hints at this
darker side of life that my own lyrics tell of.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 700;">Where in Georgia are you from originally, and how long have you been doing music in
Nashville?<br />
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11.000000pt;">I grew up in Peachtree City, GA, the daughter of two school teachers. Unlike a lot of people who
move to Nashville as a teenager to chase their music dreams, I went to college and grad school
first, and I lived and worked abroad in France twice along the way. It wasn’t until after
graduating with a Master’s degree that I made my own pilgrimage to Music City to chase my
dreams.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: 700;">You have an interesting background, from getting a Master’s degree at Harvard to
interning at the U.S. Embassy in Paris, France when you were in college. Why music?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">I’ve always been passionate for music and international relations, so I went to school for both. It
wasn’t until the end of college - from a breakup actually - that led me to write my own original
songs, and at that point I followed my heart and chose music over the Foreign Service. When I
moved to Nashville, I actually worked in government for a few years in the Haslam
administration, exploring that public service passion. I helped devel</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">op the Tennessee Promise
program, which made community and technical colleges free for students in Tennessee.
However, after some time, I realized my heart was in music and I needed to leave to chase my </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">dreams. I’m currently self-employed as a touring artist and fiddle player, songwriter, and session
player.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 700;">What does a typical day look like for you as a singer-songwriter and musician in
Nashville?<br />
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11.000000pt;">In a typical day, I’m writing and recording my own songs, or playing violin, viola, or singing
vocals for other people as a session player. I teach music lessons a few days a week to help
pay the bills, and I’m also a teaching artist at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I
play fiddle for other bands and sing for corporate gigs a few times a month as well. Making a
living as a working singer-songwriter currently means I have a lot of different things going on all
the time, so every day is a little different!
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 700;">You recently started a non-profit to help refugee youth in Nashville. Tell us a little about
that work.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11.000000pt;">3 Chords is a non-profit I founded in 2016 to help refugee youth learn to write songs to express
themselves. I’ve done a lot of traveling in my life and have gained a huge passion for people of
other cultures, and I love being able to help new Americans, particularly ones who are here
because they were forced out of their homes in other countries. I spend an hour each week with
10 high school refugees, teaching them guitar and songwriting, and I bring in guest artists and
songwriters to work with them. This is year one, but my goal is to have the students record their
songs at a studio and then create a compilation record of those songs. I also hope to do a
showcase with them all performing at a Nashville venue in May. (Learn more at <a href="http://3chords.org/">3chords.org</a>)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "\22 arial\22 " , "\22 helvetica\22 " , sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Who are some of your greatest musical influences?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I am totally enchanted by everything Joy Williams does. She's a huge influence on me vocally
and musically. I also really love the sweetness of Alison Krauss and the darkness of Lana Del
Rey. I like to blend sweet and dark, and that’s what I’m going for with WILDWOOD.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 700;">What’s been your greatest musical accomplishment?
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Touring with the band Augustana last summer was a dream. I never would have imagined I’d be
opening for the Dixie Chicks to 20,000 people at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but I did! I
also got to share the stage with Charlie Daniels last year in a fiddle duel playing “The Devil
Went Down to Georgia.” That memory will certainly last a lifetime!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 700;">What advice would you give anyone wanting to chase their dream?
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.000000pt;">You are the author of your life - write your own story and don’t let anyone else write it for you or
tell you how it should go. In the music industry in particular, people share opinions with me
about me and my music all the time - I get told “no” constantly. But ever “no” is one step closer
to a “yes.” Chasing a dream is hard because you are going to face a lot of rejection and
opposition along the way. But it’s totally worth it. Find out what your passion is by following your
curiosities, and then go for it with everything you have. Don’t hold back, and don’t let either fear
or perfection be your enemy. Just keep moving forward, learning and growing every day.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 700;">How has HOBY helped you get where you are today?
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.000000pt;">HOBY changed me at age 16, empowering me to want to be the best possible version of
myself. It helped me become bolder. It introduced me to people different than myself. It taught
me that I have the power to be a light in the world that helps make it a little brighter place.
HOBY engrained in me the idea that one kid can make a difference.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">After leaving HOBY, I became
more focused and intentional about her business <i>Girl's Got Game (GGG),</i> a female athletic apparel company. Before
HOBY, I was more focused on how I could make the most money and had lost
sight of why I started the business in the first place. HOBY’s emphasis on service led me to
reorganize GGG’s business structure, and focus on its founding
principles--which is to make and sell apparel geared towards empowering girls
to feel feminine while playing male-dominant sports. I have begun to shift away from coed
apparel and focused on more feminine apparel. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Most recently, I and eight
other female students founded a senior-freshmen mentoring organization called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Black Girls United (BGU)</i>! BGU was
founded for the purpose of empowering 9th grade black girls, by giving them the
opportunity to embrace their culture, gender, and uniqueness while learning how
to navigate through the highs and lows of high school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>BGU pairs these girls up with positive senior
mentors who are committed to helping them grow academically, socially, and
emotionally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Currently, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Black Girls United</i> has 28 members and 17
volunteers, and it’s growing every day!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

I met so
many amazing people who changed my life. Before HOBY I was shy and did not do
much outside of school. Since HOBY I do a lot more outside of school. I
remember being very nervous because it was the first time I ever flew alone and
I missed my first flight by only a couple of minutes. When I landed in Chicago
I saw many HOBY shirts and then knew that everything was going to be okay. After I got to Loyola University, I met all my group
members and found out that one of them used to live in the same neighborhood as
my grandmother. He also goes to the same
school as my cousin. After only just a couple of hours I felt like I had known
them for a long time. I decided that I was going to play my violin in the
talent show. I normally get nervous when I have to play in front of a huge
crowd and worry if I mess up. I did mess up on the end and everyone was still
supportive of me. That’s thing about HOBY if you mess up they still support
you. In just a week we cleaned up <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Humboldt Park and learned about some of the places the
ambassadors come from. We also went sightseeing and listened to many great
speakers. I did not think that my experience was going to be as good as it was.
In just a couple of days my life was changed by 400 amazing people who I can always
count on.</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span>My name is MacKenzie McCloud and I am a junior currently
attending Hampton University where I am studying nursing. I attended Hugh
O’Brian Youth Program the summer of 2012 and retuned the summer of 2013 as a
junior staff member. Being selected to represent my high school at HOBY became
one of the major defining moments in the development of the young woman I am today.
The leadership skills, networking, and friendships that I developed and
experienced during my summers with HOBY has given me the confidence to
challenge myself and not steer away from leadership roles. Since my attendance
I have received multiple awards from Health Occupational Students of America in
Epidemiology, became a member of the Freddye T. Davy Honors College, and
selected to be a part of Hampton University’s Student Recruitment Team. These
are a few highlights since my summers with HOBY. I encourage every student who
is presented with the opportunity to attend the summer program to go. It will
take you out of your comfort zone and it will cause to think. But that’s what
leaders do. We push ourselves, we make opportunities for ourselves, and we give
back. Hugh O’Brian Youth Program will give you the tools needed to become
leader on whatever path you choose to take in life.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I
wasn’t even supposed to go to HOBY. I was the alternate. Luckily, though, my
drama teacher saw the potential in me that I didn’t even knew I had. She got
the Junior League in my hometown to sponsor me to go. Our seminar was at the
University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. I remember walking into the big room
where we were at, and just hearing noise. It was all the cheering that is the
heart of the HOBY program. I remember I just stood there not saying a thing or
moving a muscle. I think it was about an hour into the seminar that I decided
to try it out. There is a cheer that many have forgotten about called “Let me
see your Boogaloo.” It requires a lot of moving and linking arms, and for
whatever reason, that was the moment my HOBY spirit came alive. If you know
that song “This Little Light of Mine,” then you will understand that prior to
that moment, I had never light my light shine through. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> From that one seemingly
insignificant moment, I turned my lantern on full blast. The rest of the
weekend was nothing but this energy pouring out of me. When I went home, I
didn’t know how to shut off the light. From that weekend, I was definitely put
on the path to my own greatness. I got involved with HOBY the following year by
volunteering for the CLeW in my hometown. That was how I was identified for my
potential as a seminar volunteer, and the next fifteen or so years is history.
I love being a volunteer for HOBY. It makes the month of June my favorite.
Being able to see and meet the next generation of leaders is why I keep coming
back each year. Through HOBY, I discovered my love for working with all young
people no matter the circumstance. This has been the greatest gift of HOBY for
me. I learned what my passion is and gave me the courage to go out there a make
a difference.. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> So when I moved to Savannah in 2007, I became a volunteer for
the Big Brothers & Big Sisters program and Camp Aloha, a camp for young
people who have lost a loved one. Even today, a dear friend of mine told me he
wished he could borrow some of my energy, but you can’t really share a HOBY
spirit that way. Most people know me in HOBY for my work with CLeW Savannah.
Five years ago, I met another HOBY alumna in Savannah. She happened to be the
daughter of a colleague of mine, and together we formed the team that would
become CLeW Savannah. I am proud of the program we have built here, and love
seeing where these young potential leaders go with their lives, even if it
doesn’t include the HOBY Leadership Seminar their sophomore year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"> As I reflect on my HOBY experience, it's hard to believe that it has been ten years since my parents dropped me off at Oglethorpe University while Junior Staffers were loudly cheering and beating on my car screaming "Welcome to HOBY!!". </span><br /> I think one of the reasons it's so hard to believe that my Ambassador year was 10 years ago is because HOBY isn't just a specific life event--it doesn't end <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1056742544" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> afternoon at Closing Ceremony--HOBY truly is a way of life.<br /> Howard Thurman once said "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come Alive." That's what HOBY does--it inspires young leaders to come alive by exploring their passions and plants the seeds to cultivate a culture of leadership among them. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> HOBY equipped me with the tools to become even more involved as a leader in my local community throughout the remainder of high school, college and beyond. Seminars throughout the years and the friends that I have made through HOBY have served as a constant inspiration and reminder to lead with a vision fueled by what I am passionate about. My passion is helping others and serving the community. The importance of servant leadership was instilled in me at a young age, and HOBY helped to remind me that by following that passion I can make a difference. </span></span></div>

though I didn't know how much I would invest in it at that time. Everyone talks
about how their pivoting point for the weekend may have been an inspirational
speaker, one of the many activities that we as ambassadors did, or even simply
the junior staff that banged on our car doors and windows with enthusiasm. For
me, though, it was a little simpler than that. For me, it was just an encounter
with a then Junior Staffer. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though I don't remember much of the details of that
first of many encounters, I do remember how I felt after that first meeting
with Ben Lutz. One of the members of my group happened to come from his high
school, and she apparently knew him well. So he strolled on over and picked up a
conversation with her. Somehow, I got into the mix of it all, and though I
don't recall much of that now distant conversation, I do remember finally
feeling a sense of inclusion and purpose in this whole experience of HOBY. Skip
ahead to after the seminar and, as I was chanting all the cheers to myself that
I had learned and thinking about the magnificent weekend HOBY brought to me, I
started to ponder how I would manage to be selected to go back. As if he heard
my thoughts, I received a message at 7:47 PM on June 2nd of 2013 from the very
Ben Lutz himself reading, “Get your 100 hours and I'll help you with your
application in February!” And so my HOBY journey began. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With Ben's kindness, he
proofread my the essays I wrote and told me if I should revise more or not, and
I turned in an application that I was proud of and worked hard on. I heard back
soon after that I had been accepted as a Junior Staff member and, of course,
Ben was there to congratulate me. Through my years on Junior Staff, though Ben
hasn't had to hold my hand as much as during that initial application by any
stretch of the imagination, his presence has always been one of enthusiasm and
peace simultaneously. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks to the confidence Ben helped instill in me for my
own abilities, my years at HOBY have always helped me grow as a person. My
confidence in myself allowed me to truly show my staff members who I am without
worry of ridicule, and it has allowed me to not only show my best work during
the seminars, but also grow impeccably close with my team members. With every
year that I have gone back to HOBY, my confidence has grown, and my friendships
have only gotten deeper, so I have much to thank HOBY and all of the people
involved for helping create the woman I am today. Through the people I've met,
the teams I have worked with, the speeches I've heard, and the ambassadors I
have seen, I, today, am proud to say that much of the servant leadership
knowledge and experience I have acquired has truly helped me give back to my
community. In my spare time now, which seems to become shorter and shorter as
the years wane on, I help raise guide dogs for veterans or blind citizens, and
I have helped found an organization to provide mentorship for at risk teens in
a local high school. I've even seen the impact of HOBY in my academic and
social spheres through my acceptances in elite honor societies to the wonderful
conversations I am able to have with professors and through the amazing people
that I have met and am able to call my friends. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though daily tasks after a
weekend at HOBY may not seem as enthusiastic, I have found that by continuing
the spirit of HOBY in everyday life, doors that I had never imagined would even
be there for me to step through truly open. For that reason, I've made it my
life's goal to continue that very same kindness, patience, and joy that Ben
first showed to me to anyone around me willing to take my extended hand.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Like many of you, upon hearing the news that Hugh O’Brian had passed, I couldn’t help but be flooded with a range of emotions. Of course, there was sadness and thoughts of sympathy for Hugh’s family and close friends, but I couldn’t figure out why I had this “pit in my stomach” and sense of unease. While I was fortunate enough to meet Hugh on several occasions over the years, I was not by any means what one would consider a close friend. Yet still, why did the news of his passing sadden me in the manner that it did? After exchanging a few texts regarding his passing with friends that I’d met through HOBY, “the reason why” all of a sudden hit me: HOBY has shaped me into who I am today and HOBY is family.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> One of Hugh’s core motives behind targeting high school sophomores to participate in HOBY was his belief that at age 15-16, a person is “young enough” to still require mentoring/guidance from their elders, yet “old enough” to begin making decisions to shape their lives on their own. I was </span><u style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">fortunate</u><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> to be selected to represent my high school as a HOBY Ambassador in May 1998, when I was 16 years old. I was </span><u style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">blessed</u><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> enough return to staff each year from 1999 to 2015 – serving in a myriad of roles and responsibilities – electing to finally take a step back as an active volunteer due to family and professional obligations when I was 34 years old.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> How could HOBY not shape who I am? After all, HOBY has been in my life longer than it hasn’t been in my life (#GettingOld). I’m a firm believer that our lives are filled with moments that, based on our response, shape the rest of our futures. For me, HOBY was one of those moments. But what made it all so special? The answer is simple: YOU. Each and every one of you.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi0c0_jD2X1bAbcX5GIoiIBRqfIZbd1R6AD0UGbp0bFR__58aPAWiKic2g7v7mKquV2WZzJnWe04swk6zecTNPjk-wMakPIlc-2O5uTI7zcvS-T40BvqDxyMVNhHTbfFxHqyoSHpbWmv0/s1600/10441269_416123588527238_7022323506212592836_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi0c0_jD2X1bAbcX5GIoiIBRqfIZbd1R6AD0UGbp0bFR__58aPAWiKic2g7v7mKquV2WZzJnWe04swk6zecTNPjk-wMakPIlc-2O5uTI7zcvS-T40BvqDxyMVNhHTbfFxHqyoSHpbWmv0/s320/10441269_416123588527238_7022323506212592836_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> I honestly don’t know where I would be in my life without HOBY. I don’t mean that in the sense of “I was headed down the wrong path”. I mean it in the sense of “HOBY has been so pivotal in my life”. I’ve learned so much about myself, about others, and about our world through HOBY…whether it be through what I learned </span><u style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">as an Ambassador</u><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">, what I learned </span><u style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">from the Ambassadors</u><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> as a volunteer, or through the </span><u style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">close-knit bonds and lifelong friendships</u><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> I’ve made with fellow HOBY volunteers over the years. The Ambassadors never ceased to amaze me. Their drive, their passion, and their skill is unparalleled. As for the volunteers, words don’t do them justice. We’ve laughed together in times of humor and cried together in times of sorrow. We’ve celebrated together for weddings and births and we’ve been there for each other in times of loss. We’ve encouraged each other when we’ve embarked on new and exciting frontiers and we’ve leaned on each other in times of need. As a matter of fact, I’ve enjoyed a 12+ year career in an industry I got in to by learning about it from a friend I met through HOBY. I’m married to the love of my life because I met her through a friend I knew from HOBY. And 17 months ago, I became a Dad to the most beautiful, hilarious, and (dare I say) sassy as all get out little girl…you know the kind – up there front and center showing the world how she HOBY-O’s. All of it – all the laughs, all the tears, all the texts, all the memories, all the smiles, all the future – </span><u style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">all of it</u><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> because of HOBY.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> So that’s why it hurt. That was the unease. With Hugh’s passing a big piece of me – a big piece of all of us – was gone. Even though some of us may have never met him and even though he may have never known our names off the cuff, a catalyst for change in our lives was gone. If you’re like me, after his passing, you may have read the news articles on his life or searched his name on the internet. His achievements and notoriety were many, but it was one moment – his time with Dr. Schweitzer – that shaped the rest of Hugh’s life. Thankfully, in some way, shape, or form, each of us has been shaped by Hugh’s life. And for that, I know I will remain forever grateful.</span><br />

It was 4AM. Without sleep (and Starbucks), it was just my mother and I on the road, listening to Rihanna in the car. I had actually never been alone for an entire week in another state - so when my mom was about to leave me alone at the front desk, I pleaded for her to come with me all the way to gate, much like a 5 year old. Reluctantly, she came with me, and two hours later, it was time for me to hop on the plane to fly all the way to Chicago. I remember - the first thing I said on the plane was something along the lines of “What did I get myself into?”<br />
I was right.With an iced coffee in hand, I made my way to O’Hare’s baggage claim. I’ll never forget that moment of the entire week - instantly, I made some of my closest friends that week: Ian from Florida, Tessa from New York, Ben from North Carolina, Joey from Alaska, and Caroline and Rudy, both from Connecticut. I still talk them today (I say that as if WLC was years ago, haha!) After jamming out to One Dance by Drake at the airport (one of my favorite songs throughout the week), we all took the shuttle bus to Loyola University. There, I was greeted by my facilitator, Al Carroll, and the rest of the members of my group (go Silver E1!)<br />

Between all of the speakers that came to talk to us, International Day, cleaning up at Humboldt Park, sightseeing Chicago and buying Garrett’s popcorn, making political posters with Koji, making over 50,000 meals with Feeding Children Everywhere, and being able to interact with over 400 ambassadors from around the world, I can happily say that I came out of this week changed. You “get out what you put in,” and throughout the week I have learned so much about what it means to truly be passionate and knowing my why...the list goes on and on. There so many things that I cannot wait to take back to my community here in Marietta! HOBY has been such a big part of my summer this year and I’m so excited for my future as an alum! You guys will always have a special part of my heart. HOBY Hugs!<br />

of uncomfortably quiet teenagers and their proudly enthusiastic parents, I
couldn’t help but notice how unnaturally energetic the Junior Staff members
were as they ran around carrying luggage in their brilliant yellow shirts. I
remember watching them and wondering what was making them so excited. It turned
out that they were excited about not only being at HOBY but also being alive,
awake, alert, and enthusiastic at HOBY. And that’s exactly what they chanted!
The idea that you can not only feel energized for doing something that you love
but also feel invigorated for even feeling energized in the first place was a
concept that I learned at HOBY—first as an ambassador but even more so in my
two years returning as one of those yellow-shirted Junior Staff members.</span><br />

In practice, this meant that I
could strive for my goals with a go-getting attitude that fueled itself to keep
on going. It was a positive feedback process. The more energetic I became when
approaching a problem, the more I would feed off my own energy to sustain the
motivational momentum that propelled me closer to accomplishing my goal. This
was my self-motivation and it presented itself in everything from running track
and field to applying to college as senior. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Now, as a second-year student in
college, I realize how special HOBY was for me because it multiplied this uplifting
effect when everyone around me was experiencing it. HOBY fueled people to not
only find their self-motivating capabilities but also vibe with other people to
accentuate and amplify these positive effects. HOBY united. HOBY empowered. HOBY
inspired. And for those few days in my life that I was able to experience this
HOBY magic, I am forever grateful.<o:p></o:p></div>

Yes, I am a proud HOBY alum, but not from
Georgia. From the moment I stepped foot
on Berry's campus for volunteer training (where I knew no one), person after
person opened their arms and hearts to me.
HOBY became my family that day.
Sure, I had been away from HOBY since my ambassador year in 1994 (yes,
do the math), but it was amazing how quickly everything came rushing back.</div>

HOBY managed to pop the bubble that I had
been living in in my small Alabama hometown. My seminar weekend solidified in my mind that I needed to see other parts
of the country and the world. There was
too much out there for me to see and experience and different people for me to
meet. HOBY gave me the skills that I
would hone and use throughout college and in the early days of my
entrepreneurial career. </div>

also of how much farther I still have left to go. But the biggest lesson, I learned from HOBY
is that you can always come back home.
And for me, HOBY is HOME. All of
you, are home for me.</div>

1994. Now, I have the good fortune of
leading a team of incredibly dedicated volunteers throughout the year. These are people that I consider family. These are the people that when things are
rough in my life that I call on to give me guidance or just to hear me
complain. Sure, we may (as families do)
disagree from time to time, but at the end of the day, I love and respect each
person and I would do anything in my power to help them. Sometimes in families,
doing the right thing is the hard thing. But I know each member of this family
has the same end goal in mind...we want to make each seminar have a life long
impact on the ambassadors. <o:p></o:p></div>

WE do that. And when I sit back

impact...that ripple effect is what it is all about.<br />

After I left HOBY in 2013, I was a different person. I was more outgoing, I participated more in my community through volunteering, and I even think that I was more kind on a daily basis. I loved HOBY and I promised myself that I would come back every single year and volunteer. I did in 2014 and 2015, but I couldn’t in 2016.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 48px;"> On Memorial Day 2016, just a few days before HOBY 2016, I suffered 2</span><sup style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-indent: 48px;">nd</sup><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 48px;"> and 3</span><sup style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-indent: 48px;">rd</sup><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 48px;"> degree burns to both of my hands. While cooking, I managed to spill the entire pan of grease on my hands. I remember being in the hospital a day or two later and my friend from 2014 HOBY, Alexandria, messaged me to check on my healing. I hadn’t even thought that I was going to miss HOBY until I read that message. At this point I was feeling pretty miserable. I couldn’t even text her back without asking someone else to do it for me. I felt like giving up. Then I remembered my key note speaker from my first year on Junior Staff, Kelsey Tainsh. I thought back to how inspired I was by her story, and it gave me hope that eventually I would be able to use my hands again. Today I’m back in my normal routine, and I have Kelsey and HOBY to thank for that. </span></div>

the last night of HOBY in a semi-darkened room, eyes squeezed shut and mouth
open wide, “I want people to take me seriously.” While I did not realize it at
the time, I was voicing a request that grew out of continually being silenced
and undervalued as a black woman, a symptom of institutional racism in America.
In my rural community, I never saw many black people in “leadership positions”.
Most of my educators were white women or white men. Most of the cafeteria and
custodial workers at school were black women or black men. I grew up feeling
that black people were still second-class citizens meant to serve and not
capable of being leaders. With this understanding came unconscious self-hate
and a desire to take on as many characteristics of white-middle class dominant
culture as possible to erase the blackness. To help me feel more like the
leader that almost every part of mainstream American society demanded I be. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But then at HOBY I met
Adetinpo Thomas. She had shoulder length black hair, skin dark as mine with
sapphire undertones. She was one of the coolest parts of every sweltering day
at HOBY. Having her as an example of leadership alongside the workshops and
readings that we did made black female leadership a reality to me. She was
confident. She was bold. She showed me that I too could be unapologetically
black woman and leader.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My Junior Staff leaders,
John Murphy and Katie Moore, also encouraged me to be the best me that I could be.
Their belief in me helped begin my thinking about what it meant to have allies
outside of one’s racial in-group. I could never have had the courage to sing in
the talent show without their support and that of my group at HOBY. I</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">t’s been six years since
those formative days I spent as an ambassador on Georgia Southwestern
University’s campus. I am now working in Tulsa, Oklahoma as an early childhood
educator through Teach for America. In a country where cultural competency and
high academic performance are markers of success, and schools are the mediums
through which American children are socialized into their role as citizens,
unequal education through racial segregation still maintains a racial and
social hierarchy. Thus, teachers, as the facilitators of that socialization,
have a huge responsibility to society. The school I am working in is over 90%
black. As a black female educator, I consider my very presence as a leader in
the classroom, and the high expectations I have for my students and myself, an
act of resistance against systems of oppression working against my community.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am thankful to HOBY for
challenging me summer of 2010—in earnest—to be more service-oriented,
outspoken, and to use my voice not just for myself but my whole community. I am
happy that I got to come back the next year and be a junior staff member to
help create a positive experience for all ambassadors to grow more into
themselves. I am thankful for the places of leadership I’ve been able to
inhabit since. I hope to continue being a leader in my community, using skills
HOBY cultivated in me, in order to help others use their voice to make this
country a better place—similarly to the way Adetinpo’s very presence influenced
me. I am humbled to be doing the work of being a teacher to young people of
color. I gladly “pay it forward”! #HOBY4LIFE</span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #141414; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Well y'all it is about that time, the HOBY
withdraws have fully set in and the new school year is quickly approaching. I
know many thoughts are running through your mind, the same thing happened to me
back in 2012 when I attended HOBY as an ambassador: what is going to happen
when I go back to school? Are people going to notice a difference in me? Are
people going to understand what happened to me after just three days? In all
honesty, most people will not understand. Nevertheless, that does not mean that
what happened to you is not a great thing. HOBY has taught me numerous lessons
over the years, the biggest being that just because people don't understand
something doesn't make it any less important. HOBY is a very important
organization to me, it has taught me life lessons, introduced me to some of my
best friends and showed me who I truly was (which is a mixture of a whole slew
of birds). However, when I tell people I am going to volunteer at a conference
for 3 days, with minimal sleep and maximum energy, they do not understand.
"Why would you give up that time?" is a question I have been asked on
a few occasions. But none of this takes away from my experience that is HOBY.
What you need to remember no matter what happens to you or what changes that
live gives you, even though someone does not understand, there is someone out
there that understands what you're going through and how special that even is.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Chosen because of an essay I threw together in-between InterAct Meetings and Marching Band, I was more than excited to arrive on campus at 6:58AM in Americus, Georgia. I was the first car that arrived, and TWENTY Junior Staff came charging at my car. The two people that took my bags, Courtney and Hallie, introduced to me to this organization that would soon become a major part of my world. </span></div>

WOW have I changed from that girl that was incredibly nervous to be somewhere where I knew absolutely no-one--to now when I CANNOT live without speaking to a member of my HOBY family every.single.day. (I am pretty sure the 200 day snapchat streak really speaks for itself) The seminar taught me how to lead by example, how to serve my community, and how to make a lifelong friend over 5 hours of sleep in 72 hours. I love what HOBY did for me. I love that it brought out my confidence and brought out my skills. It has opened my eyes to so many new things, and that everyone has a story. It is incredible that so many people are brought together and changed through this experience. I am forever thankful for the friendships, the support, and the love I have gained from this organization. It is more than just a weekend a year to me, it is a part of my heart that I am so happy exists.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To think that I fell so in-love with this organization, and was not originally chosen to come back on Junior Staff is something I think about often. I knew from the moment that I saw the excitement of Junior Staff it was something I wanted to be apart of. When I was chosen originally as an alternate, I did not let my inner spirit die. Instead, I put more effort into helping my community. When Cameron called me just a week before the seminar in 2011, I jumped at the opportunity to come. After 3 years on junior staff, a year as a junior facilitator, an accidental facilitator (twice), and the director of junior staff, volunteering for HOBY has truly come full circle. I could not imagine a summer without HOBY, (or a day without HOBY honestly) and I am so grateful for everything this organization has brought me.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> What is the most
memorable event that has ever happened in your life? Many people will say their
high school or college graduation. Others will say their wedding or the
proposal that preceded it. As of right now, mine is my weekend as an ambassador
at HOBY. I know this because it's the only event that I have a perfect
recollection of, besides my extremely recent graduation, but that doesn't count
yet. I remember being with my mom and seeing all these crazy people yelling and
cheering at our car, and I thought about asking her to turn around. Come the
end of the weekend, I was one of those crazy people doing seemingly ridiculous
cheers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> There are three
things that I took away from HOBY that I still use to this day. I learned to be
confident in myself and not worry about fitting in or being too weird. I
learned to genuinely care about others and be there for them during times of
struggle and times of triumph. Finally, I learned to be a better leader by
being accountable for my actions while also being confident in those actions.
Those three things weren't necessarily taught from a speaker, but through the
acts of the staff and the activities we participated in as well. There were
plenty of other things I learned and took with me too. Those three just
happened to stick with me through all these years and will continue to drive me
for the rest of my life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I consider HOBY
one of the reasons I am where I am today. I will be attending Georgia Tech this
coming fall, and I have HOBY to thank for inspiring me to work even harder to
achieve my goals. I have been a part of many clubs and organizations where I
have been able to show off my leadership and service capabilities. I am a
member of a 5 person ensemble with my closest friends making music,
participating in and winning competitions, and performing around our city and
state at events. I honestly feel like none of that would be possible if I had
not spent that one weekend at HOBY, so I am forever grateful for what HOBY has
done for me, what HOBY has done for others, and what HOBY will continue to do
in the years to come.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> When I was
selected as my school’s HOBY ambassador, I had no idea what I was in for.
Within the first few hours of the seminar, it became clear that this was not
the average leadership program. I am definitely not the most outspoken person,
but that HOBY weekend helped me gain the confidence to try things outside of my
comfort zone, which was so helpful in the transition from a small high school
to a large university, and is still used as I now transition to medical school.
Six years later, I continue to be strengthened by the lessons learned,
friendships made, and opportunities presented through this program.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> There are so many amazing aspects of
HOBY, but one of my personal favorites is how it allows you to continue to grow
as a leader years after you attend the seminar. I have been back as a volunteer
every year since my ambassador year, and each year provides new relationships
and challenges that further shape who I am as a leader. From being on Junior
Staff to now being a Facilitator and the Alumni Advisor, I have always had so
much support from the incredible members of this organization. It is amazing
how so many different people can become a family, but that is what HOBY is to
me. There is no doubt in my mind that without HOBY and the people within it, my
life would be much different than it is today, and I will always be grateful to
be a part of the HOBY family!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many
of our HOBY stories begin the same way - those of us who were ambassadors did
not want to spend a weekend with strangers being pushed out of our comfort
zones. My older brother was a HOBY ambassador several years before I was and
after watching him continuously volunteer on staff afterwards, I knew HOBY was
something special. I dreaded having to give up a weekend of my summer and
honestly, was afraid. I was shy, insecure and worried too much about what
others thought of me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eleven
years later, I have just finished up my last seminar as co-leadership seminar
chair and can finally sit back and smile at what I have accomplished and how
far I've come with the help of an outstanding team. I am proud to have seen
just how much the seminars in Georgia have grown since I was an ambassador, and
I'm excited to see what's next. HOBY is transformative. It's evident in the
expressions on the faces of those who leave the seminar Sunday afternoon, as
these are not the same expressions on the faces of those who arrive Friday
morning. HOBY is not easily described. It is powerful, moving, and at some
times, exhausting but above it all, well worth every single moment and I am
proud to say that HOBY is in my DNA. </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world
to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement.
You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the
errand." I can't tell you how many times I have read this quote by Woodrow
Wilson and reminded myself that I'm not in this world to only live my life. I
am here to help and to teach and so are you. We are here to help each other
make this world a better place politically, socially, and economically. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">I was
raised in Statesboro, Georgia, one of the many small, rural towns in South
Georgia. After graduating high school in 2013, I made my way to Atlanta, where
I am currently a rising Senior at Georgia Tech in Atlanta majoring in
Industrial Design. In all honesty, I couldn't have made it to this point in my
life without HOBY. I was an ambassador in 2011 and I have gone back to
volunteer at the seminar every year with the exception of a location conflict
last year, but I returned this year with a full heart ready to serve these
young leaders. As an organization that impacted my life so much, I couldn't
imagine not giving back to it. HOBY taught me so much as an ambassador and
continues to teach me every year as I volunteer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">One of the
many things that HOBY taught me and that I try to instill in others is that one
small change can make a huge impact and huge impacts aren't always made over
night. It takes setting smaller, attainable goals to achieve a much bigger one.
Having persistence, determination, and passion to keep moving forward is key in
making a change and "enabling the world to live more amply." Since my
ambassador year in 2011, these characteristics have grown in me and become part
of my personality and I thank HOBY for that everyday. One thing HOBY alumni can
do to jump on the path of "enabling the world to live more amply, with
greater vision" is volunteer with the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership
organization during the year and during the conferences both state wide and
nation wide. This organization is powerful. We are molding and influencing the
leaders of tomorrow to help bring light out of the darkness in this world and I
wholeheartedly believe that by spreading light through a few high school
juniors in Georgia, we can help spread light throughout the entire world.</span><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p> Maya
Angelou famously said, “At the end of the day people won’t remember what you
said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.” In the same spirit, I honestly
can’t remember much of my ambassador year in 2011, but I can tell you how
I felt on the ride home. I left that weekend from the sweltering Americus, GA, heat with
an infectious enthusiasm, a newfound confidence in my leadership ability, and the
charge to go out and improve the community around me.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> There
are a lot of ways that leaders can serve both their community and society as a whole,
and I am more than happy to say I have found my place here at Georgia HOBY. I
love this organization. I love what it stands for. I love that we invest our time
and energy in teens at the age they need it the most. I love that we pride ourselves
on not teaching kids what to think, but rather teaching them how to think, a
skill very low in supply these days. Most of all, I love the people I’ve gotten
to meet through HOBY, and I consider it a privilege to have them as an
extension of my family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I could
tell you what HOBY has personally meant to me, but I think my love for the organization
is better seen through the eyes of others. Every time I come back from the
seminar, my friends laugh at me for the countless cheers I sing, the large
smile painted across my face, and the endless stories I tell them about my
fun-filled weekend. They don’t see Jr. Staff attack cars; they don’t see the
ponies, but they see the joy I feel from it, and that’s what matters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Now that
June is upon us, I hope your inner flame is reignited, and I thank you in advance
for rekindling mine. You always do.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13px;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<o:p></o:p><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> They say everything happens for a reason. Not only do I walk in this philosophy, but I stride in it. I was born on a peninsula in Nigeria, where I spent my youngest years. By grace, I was fortunate enough to move to the states, mostly for my studies and I have spent my formative years here. I tried to stay active in school, always looking for a way to get ahead. When my advisor told the class about HOBY, I missed the deadline. When I went back with my application, they told me an ambassador has already been chosen. Now, I am many things, and persistent is one of them. So in true fashion I respectfully stalked the administration at my high school until they agreed to send 2 ambassadors. Who knew that the summer of 2010 would change my life? I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am to HOBY for all the wonderful people I have met, the amazing lessons I have learned, the outstanding ambassadors that humbly me each summer, and the overwhelming sense of community we have as an organization.</span><br />
I am currently 22 and a rising senior at Kennesaw state University. I am majoring in international affairs as well as public relations. I currently hold the Event Coordinator position at Carl Black Automotive, Kennesaw division. With a schedule that can be intense at times, I always choose to make time in my summer for HOBY. For an organization that has thought me so much about others and myself, I will always be thankful. I have volunteered and served for the last five years, only missing one due to work, and faithfully returning as a facilitator this year! Also, I am happy to announce that I have accepted a facilitator position with HOBY CT (Connecticut) as well. I am hopeful and anxious to see what this organization has in store for me this year, and frankly, the rest of my life.<br />

He eventually met his now wife Hilary. I always heard Hilary talking about HOBY and wearing her HOBY shirts. As I learned more it seemed more and more like something I wanted to get involved in. My first seminar was in 2012 and I remember on the drive home getting hit with an incredible feeling. We refer to this feeling as a “HOBY high”. I didn’t know what to expect my first time around as a facilitator, but all I knew was I wanted to keep coming back. While I never experienced HOBY as an Ambassador I have been lucky enough to keep coming back and watching the Ambassadors grow into the outstanding people they are today. I was also recently added to the Corporate Board as GA HOBY’s secretary and I am thrilled to be more involved with this organization and the direction we are going! </div>

I was pulled into the counselor’s office of my high school, and I was told I had been selected to attend this thing called HOBY that upcoming summer. I agreed to going without really knowing fully what I was getting myself into. I spent the rest of my second semester of sophomore year with HOBY far back in my mind. Finally, the day before the first day of HOBY arrives and I do not want to go. I end up calling my friend who had gone through the experience before so he could give me some reason to want to go. He said something along the lives of, “HOBY is full of unicorns, you will fit in perfectly.” </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">This response turned out to be very true in many ways:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<ul style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; list-style-type: none;">
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">1. Everyone at HOBY has magical powers</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"></span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">2. They are fabulous beyond belief</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"></span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">3. And, at HOBY, we all ride the pony, a close ancestor to the unicorn. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">Ho</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">wever, in all seriousness, if I had said no to going to HOBY, I would not be the person I am today. Today I am att</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">ending Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee where I study theatre and film. The performing arts have always been a passion instilled in my heart, and HOBY has given me the drive to not just try, but succeed in my art. From being an actor, to designing, my work process is influenced by the values I learned at HOBY. The theatre world is full of very different people from all different backgrounds meaning people are going to have different ideas. Knowing this is important, according to the HOBY values I learned, because everyone’s ideas are important and can enhance my artistic abilities to be understood by a larger scale of people, especially since acting alone is an art of understanding.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>
<ul style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; list-style-type: none;">
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">Service is another huge part of HOBY that has impacted my life. Every year I help run an acting class at my university for adults with learning disabilities. This is not only a great way to help my community, but it is a way that I can help with my talents. The best way to serve your community is to look at what you love doing, and find a way to do that to serve your community. Once you find that one thing, you will never stop serving. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;"></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 11pt;">HOBY has impacted my life in many ways and I hope to keep serving and helping seminar sites around the country until my stature and physical state becomes that of a sloth. I am very honored to be chosen to be the featured alumni, and I can not wait to see how many more amazing alumni HOBY will produce.</span></div>
