Featured Alumnus: Jonathan Helfgott NW '16
My WLC experience was life changing. 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 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.
