"When I sent in my ambassador application for HOBY Delaware's virtual 2021 seminar, I had no idea how much of an impact the experience would have on me. HOBY Delaware 2021 was truly the first virtual experience I had as a student where I actually felt engaged with learning. This year, when I got to be a Team Alumni member at HOBY Delaware, the boundless energy and collaborative environment in person only improved upon my positive experiences from the virtual year. From using teamwork to solve a virtual escape room as an ambassador last year to late nights planning activities as a staff member this year, HOBY draws out every character trait of mine that makes me a leader. HOBY Delaware awarded me with the amazing opportunity to attend the HOBY World Leadership Congress on a full scholarship; The experiences I had at WLC, along with my time as a TA, have made me all the wiser by giving me the tools to confront my own worldview. It is such a unique HOBY experience to be able to grow as an individual while simultaneously helping younger students grow. I am so excited to return to HOBY next year and I can not wait to help other students enjoy the experiences that have become so valuable to me as a HOBY Delaware Alum!"
