Legacy Center Teen Leadership Confidence

I have become so confident as a result of the Legacy Center Teen Leadership program! I used to walk around with my head bent down, wearing baggy clothes, and not wanting to be seen. Now I hold my head up high and I believe in myself. At school, I was elected Student Body President. I am making a difference in my school by developing programs for other students to do community service and experience what it means to give to other people. None of this would have ever been possible for me without the trust and commitment of the people who worked with me in the Legacy Center training program. I think this should be a required class in school!

Legacy Center Foundation Teen Leadership

Throughout my life, I’ve always just followed what everyone else was doing. When I did Legacy Center Foundation’s Teen Leadership, Program many things changed for me.  I realized that I don’t need to follow the crowd.  Following the crowd it not what life is about.  There isn’t any point in trying to be like everyone else, we are all unique anyway.  Before Legacy Center Teen Leadership, I had self-image problems. I do still sometimes have problems with my image, but I have become much more confident. I’m no longer afraid to say how I feel, and I don’t follow what the crowd is always doing.  Because of my experiences in Legacy Center Teen Leadership, I have grown a tremendous amount as a perso

After completing Legacy Center Teen Leadership (TL), I gave back by staffing the program.  Staffing TL was amazing.  It’s a great feeling knowing I’ve made an impact on someone else’s life. I really enjoyed watching some of the kids come through Teen Leadership and watch how they changed from the beginning to the end.  Staffing Teen Leadership is a phenomenal experience, and make’s me excited for the kids in the program and their future. Knowing they left feeling good and confident is great. ♥

For me, the most valuable parts of Legacy Center Foundation Teen Leadership was when I got clear on who I get to be in the world.  It was like I had the chance to start over.  That is now what I live my life by.  I now have choice.  I am a strong, passionate, beautiful, caring, young woman.  Whenever I feel unsure or nervous about something, I have choice about who I am and who I am is the first thing that pops into my mind. It calms me. If I ever feel lost I now have tools to get me connected to who I really am in the world.♥
