This summer I had an opportunity to attend the CORO Leadership program, which was different than the internship I had last year at the Jewish Community Federation. CORO is a eight week program that helps students become civically engaged and assume leadership roles in our community.

For seven weeks, everything I learned tied up with the San Francisco cohort
I had no particular feelings about leadership. My childhood dream wasn’t to grow up and be able to speak like Martin Luther King Jr. or John F. Kennedy. I admired those who lead well, but could never imagine myself in their positions. I tended to always be a follower because it was the simplest.

I believe that my leadership experience while at Bowling Green State University has inspired many of my peers to demonstrate their own forms of leadership and collaboration. After becoming a certified Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) basketball coach, I often encouraged many of my friends and peers to try this rewarding experience.
