I want to be remembered as someone who leaves a positive trace in the community.

Being part of HIM Leadership Crew is very enjoyable because throughout my experience, I have met and worked with many different people.

How has HIM affected your life so far?

HIM has made a positive impact in my life. HIM has taught me many useful skills and life lessons that are needed in the future. It gave me many opportunities and responsibilities in which I can benefit and learn from. Through HIM, I have also stepped out of my comfort zone and began interacting and working with those who I have never met before. It also motivated me to volunteer for events, not just because of service points, but to actually create a positive influence in the outside community.

What motivates you to wake up early to volunteer for a Charity Run?

Knowing that I am volunteering to make a positive impact in the community, it motivates me to wake up early to volunteer for a charity run, even if it means waking up at 4 in the morning. Being able to see my friends who do not attend the same school as I do and volunteering together also motivates me.

What advice can you offer to those thinking of joining the Leadership Program?

For those who are thinking of joining the Leadership Program, you should really join because the Leadership Program provides many opportunities and teaches many valuable skills. Even though some or a lot of commitment is needed, it will be worth it!
