Participating in the 20/20 Leadership program has been a transformative experience that has helped me grow in ways I never expected. The program provided me with invaluable opportunities to connect with others, gain exposure to new experiences, and develop leadership skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Through business expos, field trips, and interactive sessions, I was able to step outside of my comfort zone and explore different career paths while also learning how to be more confident and assertive. These experiences shaped my perspective on leadership, personal growth, and what it truly means to leave a legacy.

One of the biggest ways I have grown as a leader is by taking more initiative. Before joining 20/20 Leadership, I often hesitated to step up, unsure of my abilities. However, throughout the program, I learned the importance of being proactive and taking control of my own future. I became more involved in making decisions for myself, voicing my opinions, and engaging in opportunities that challenged me to grow. I also learned that leadership isn’t just about being in charge it’s about influencing others positively, staying true to yourself, and setting an example through your actions. I became more mature and confident in who I am, no longer feeling the need to put on a facade to please others. This realization has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my leadership journey, as it has allowed me to embrace my individuality and stand strong in my beliefs.

The lessons I’ve learned from 20/20 Leadership will continue to shape my future. As I prepare for my career, I plan to use the confidence, assertiveness, and networking skills I developed to build meaningful relationships and make a lasting impact in my field. Whether it’s through my future work in healthcare or other leadership roles I take on, I want to inspire others to pursue their goals fearlessly. I have learned that success is not just about talent it’s about taking action, staying patient, and persevering even when things get difficult. No matter what challenges come my way, I know I have the mindset and determination to push forward and achieve my goals.

To me, leaving a legacy means making a lasting impact that extends beyond myself. It’s about working toward something meaningful and ensuring that my efforts create opportunities for others in the future. I believe that legacy is not just about personal achievements but about the influence we have on others through our actions, choices, and values. I want to be remembered as someone who took chances, overcame obstacles, and inspired others to do the same. It’s about knowing that I didn’t let fear hold me back and that I turned my struggles into something greater.

Ultimately, 20/20 Leadership has taught me that I have the power to shape my own future. The program gave me the tools and confidence to take control of my path, and I will carry those lessons with me as I continue to grow. My journey as a leader is just beginning, and I am excited to see how I can use what i learned to make a difference in the world.
