Rhyan Klima, one of our very own Girl Scout Council Delegates, was able to put her “dreams into action” during the inaugural GO LEAD Academy this summer, our new five-day leadership experience that allowed girls to learn new skills and pursue their passion for community service. Her passionate experiences lead her to write the following article.

Logical in all she does in finding the most efficient and suit fitting solutions to problems.

Effective worker, leader, advice giver, and in the many other vast roles she holds.

Advocate in what she believes; standing up and holding her ground for her values and truths.

Determined to be a catalyst of change, a difference in her community, country and world.

She is all these components, working in all directions to make herself a light to others to glimpse and infatuate with. Her heart of passion, her heart of amore, giving to others love and adore. Her mind at work, bursting at the seams, unable to contain all the dreams. Her hands restless, making something anew, molding a future for me and you.

Who is this girl? Where has she been and where does she head? The story unfolds as to where she’s lead, for this girl a help to need, is of course the result of Go Lead.

Go Lead Academy, casted as “a five-day leadership experience for high school girls created by Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland and Otterbein University,” is more than an experience, a reverie more accurately holds it to its true name.

A reverie where young women come to learn more about themselves and their true destiny; and even to those still searching for their passion, a light to seek out and nurture its brightness. And of these young women, I had the beyond fortunate opportunity to be among them.

If asked what Go Lead was and what it encompassed, my response would be short, sweet and simple in the two worded answer: action and passion. Even at the start of day one, after the check-in and the many warm greetings, the whole of the Go Lead individuals, including myself of course, were introduced to the wonders and beauties of networking and branding. Not even a night there, and I was already well educated and definitely intrigued with what the rest of the week would offer me. The week ahead, of course, did not disappoint between meeting with today’s female leaders, learning about how a singular dream can be turned into a sensation, and how to follow your passion, it was definitely an action packed week. And let’s not forget optional morning Zumba activities, a movie night, late night snack chats and learning self-defense. Action indeed there was, and with action of course there was the same equivalence of passion!

Passion. A strange word at most, but when at Go Lead it is everything; from meeting monumental female leaders in today’s society that shared their humble beginnings, to encouraging and finding the same unique will and humble beginnings within ourselves. Towards the start of the week, the participants of Go Lead were greatly blessed to meet with and learn the styles and stories of women who had a vision and followed it. Then with their help and the most gracious help of the Otterbein University, Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland, and the many appreciated sponsors, the young women of Go Lead were able to put our own dreams into action. What an Opportunity! For some it was education, others health and nutrition, and yet for others public safety and regulations. And in all the hard work, strength, team building, and discovering our dreams could finally come to fruition.

So who is this girl? This girl is me, and this girl could be you. This girl is a leader, a light and dream to those around her. She sees the future and her passion that she intends to use to make a change, her change, her difference, and it is to only and for all to Go Lead!
