Explain What Hoby Means To Me
What HOBY Means to Me.
Leadership is defined as the leading of a group or an organization of people. I arrived at HOBY expecting that to be the definition of leadership that would once again be given to me. Although, contrary to what I believed, that wasn’t the description I received. HOBY taught me that to be a leader I don’t have to strictly lead others. I can also lead myself because I can make a difference. I have to be the change I wish to see in this vast world that I call my home. This is the reason I want to be a volunteer for HOBY Kansas. I want to help others have the amazing time I was lucky enough to experience. I believe that I can easily relate to others thanks to the blue side of me and that I’m extremely organized and time oriented thanks to my inner gold. These characteristics of myself could also double as challenges because not every individual would agree with the way I handle …show more content…
things. Nonetheless these traits allowed me to prosper in my time HOBY. I have many memories from HOBY, but there is one instance that I won’t overlook. This moment didn’t happen when I arrived or even during the conference itself. It occurred right after closing ceremony. That’s when it hit me for the first time that I had to leave all of these outstanding individuals that I grew to know as if we had been friends for years and that I had to leave this place that I felt I fit into so well. It was as if HOBY was a missing piece of me I had no idea I needed.
I believe that to be passionate about something you have to want to never give up on it.
It’s something you have to stay committed to no matter how hard it gets or how many people tell you your passion isn’t realistic. My passion is held in the medical field. Everything about it completely fascinates me and I never want to stop learning about it. Looking at my life five years down the road I hope to be working towards getting my Doctorate of Medicine. Before I attended HOBY I was thinking about giving this dream up based on the select people who told me I couldn’t achieve this goal and also how I was scared that I wouldn’t be talented or smart enough to get that far. Then Sarah Koehn shared the following quote with us, “Ignoring your passion is slow suicide. Never ignore what you heart pumps for. Mold your career around your lifestyle, not your lifestyle around your career.” This quote is the thing I never want to forget about HOBY. I hope that my greatest leadership strength in the future is not giving up on something that I believe in even if others don’t agree with
me.
