As Leaders for Life continues to expand and improve, I am overjoyed. This magazine is the result of one of the numerous brainstorms that happen in between our inspiring summer programs. Through this magazine, I am able to pass on the message of an amazing five-year path that has changed my life. I entered the program in 2005 as a shy high school student without any leadership experience, and I now lead a fulfilling life of passion and success. My hope is that all teens may enjoy the same experience and realize that anything is possible. This magazine attempts to give a glimpse of what our participants experience by attending our programs. Teresa’s articles describe leadership strategies and the rewarding experience L4L participants gain. Staff members contribute pieces that exhibit their knowledge and compassion. Past participants share personal essays that describe the impact the program has had on them. I wish the Leaders for Life experience were easier to explain. It is one of those things you have to experience to fully appreciate. Leaders for Life has not only given me immense self-confidence, but also deep interpersonal connections and memories that will last a lifetime. Happy reading, and as we say at L4L, see you soon. t
