Lifting Voices: A Student's Quote on Take Lead

Gabby Beckham

“I would say diving deeper into my chosen initiative and serving my community has had a strong impact on myself. During the school year, I wrote a twenty-page research paper on the healthcare industry in the U.S. for a social civic project with a particular focus on the minority approach. I interviewed many professionals in the field and genuinely had meaningful discussions and further educated myself. In addition, I believe by giving service where needed is crucial to the well-being of my community including the people in it. Overall, Take Lead has given me a momentous learning experience!”
