Georgia HOBY Newsletter:
Fiftieth Edition, January 8, 2016
Featured Alumna: Megan Franken '08
If someone had told me in June of
2008, I would be transformed from the timid sophomore who was buried in her
books to an empowered, outspoken junior after just three days, I would have
honestly not believed them. From my first seminar as an ambassador 8 years ago
to every seminar since that I have been blessed to volunteer at, I am empowered
in a different way to redefine my leadership roles by the interactions with not
only my mentors and friends I have met through HOBY, but by the new group of
ambassadors that are embarking on their first HOBY experience. HOBY has given
me way more than leadership skills though; I have gained an irreplaceable HOBY
family. My HOBY family grows with each seminar as I gain connections with the
ambassadors in my group or Junior Staff assisting with the operational side of
HOBY. I am also able to nurture my existing relationships with the staff that
though I sometimes am only able to see once or twice a year at HOBY events,
even though I speak to them daily because of the connection we have. Georgia
HOBY has transformed and continues to transform me into a leader who grows,
adapts, and evolves and I am eternally grateful for this program as well as
every individual that plays a part in each seminar.
