HII provided me with exposure to Healthcare Systems, connections to industry leaders, and an introduction to medical business practices The program was followed up by another outstanding symposium in the fall, Piedmont Hospital's Advanced Technology Conference which highlighted a robot naming contest for the 21CL participants My essay was selected and published as the winner of Piedmont Hospital’s DaVinci Surgical Robot Since Piedmont Hospital uses da Vinci® Robotic Surgery to perform its surgeries, I decided to name this robot after one of Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings. Vitruvian, short for Leonardo Da Vinci's work titled "Vitruvian Man," depicts the strong relationship between art, science, and human understanding. Although a small success, knowing that a child will be able to live because of surgery done by a robot I named excites me to a level unimaginable 21CL Impact: Of all the outstanding lessons 21CL provided over the course of my participation, the most important leadership lesson I learned is that being a great leader does not just happen by birth or good fortune You have to work at it to become one, and that the great leaders 21CL has introduced to me all have three common traits that they continuously develop and perfect, Empathy, Strong work ethics, Team player.

Favorite 21CL Memory: One of my favorite memories is the talent show night when I attended the Healthcare & IT Summer Institute. That night was our professional etiquette dinner. I remember the venue being super nice, and the food was quite good. After the dinner, we took one of Kennesaw University's buses back towards campus. On the way back, our entire bus was singing Baby by Justin Bieber. The energy that filled the bus was outstanding Later on in the night, we had the talent show During the talent show, we witnessed so many talented people, many of whom were singers Additionally, many acts had the entire room laughing I remember there was a group of people that had recreated the Rihanna Super Bowl halftime show During the talent show, I decided to show my "talents" by performing Baby by Justin Bieber an additional time. However, this time one of the 21CL Staff agreed to do it with me. That’s a night that I will never forget.
21CL Impact: 21CL has had a profound impact on me in the past two years. I received support and encouragement that I needed to believe in myself.

For instance, before attending one of the summits, I had never heard of the term "sundown town."

Favorite 21CL Memory: My favorite memory is attending my first ever summer institute EarthCare At the institute, I had a lot of fun meeting and connecting with likeminded peers and mentors who share my values and vision for a more just and sustainable world for all and 21CL staff, Experts from Georgia Power, and volunteers who generously shared inspiring words of wisdom and invaluable
insights. Among the many highlights of one of the most unforgettable weeks of my life was our group project during which we were tasked with researching a community here in Georgia facing environmental injustice and working collaboratively as a team to develop equitable solutions that center diverse voices as well as the voices of those impacted in the decision-making process. I learned a lot through this project. As an action-oriented leader, I often find myself jumping ahead, so eager to get to the end goal that I miss out on the important, practical steps to get there. Through the project and working together, I learned a lot about budgeting and planning, what it takes to truly drive meaningful change from the ground up, thinking big picture but trusting the process and not rushing ahead without those practical steps My proudest moment of the week was that Friday as we gathered to present our project to Georgia Power employees and a panel of judges This project serves as such a profound and inspiring reminder that age is simply a meaningless number, we can all be part of the solution and the best teams are those which are intergenerational, where the voices of young people and adults are equally valued and centered in important conversations and the decision-making process, where there is no hierarchy or power dynamic, but rather a community of likeminded leaders making meaningful connections and leaning into moments of shared growth and learning as we all travel along this journey towards equity. Standing in that room with my group, this clicked for me in such a powerful way, and I will forever be grateful to the 21CL team, volunteers, professionals, and most of all my teammates who lost sleep with me over this project I am proud of us and thankful for what we accomplished that week, and more than anything grateful for the invaluable lessons I learned from this project 21CL Impact: Through deep and transformative dialogue at every fall summit surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), 21CL has provided important tools and helped me become more conscious of my own implicit/unconscious bias, which means I am able to understand more deeply how those biases might impact the decisions I make and/or the things I say and with awareness of such biases comes correction and progress. This has helped me as a leader to more effectively engage diverse teams and I am thankful to everyone at those summits who leaned into this transformative process and shared aspects of your personal stories that deeply resonate with me and which shape your perspectives in so many invaluable ways which deserve to be valued, never silenced and suppressed. Lastly, the best advice I have ever received is something I have heard often as a 21CL student, and words of wisdom which will continue to guide everything I say and do as I strive to be part of the solution These profound words are: "leadership is not about me, it is about you Leadership is not about you, it is about all those around you " Successful leaders are not the loudest in the room or the ones to speak first They are not the ones who pretend they know everything or who always seem to have all the answers These leaders are not effective because they have not mastered the art of listening Hearing these words for the first time all those years ago reminded me of the power of servant leadership, leading with others and the community at the center of all our decisions. In this way, 21CL reaffirmed and transformed my passion for volunteerism and is a big part of my commitment to community service and my love for giving back in any way I can, because when we are engaged authentically in servant leadership, we are making invaluable connections to our community, learning more about the challenges faced by our communities, and most importantly how we as 21st century leaders can be part of the solution in mitigating these challenges. Thank you 21st Century Leaders for reminding us that the best leaders are the ones with a heart for service and a vision for a more just and inclusive society for all

21CL Impact: Yes, 21CL impacted me as a leader and person by showing me that age does not determine success nor potential for impact The program helped me realize that I have skills and talents at my disposal to spark change while I’m still young and do not have to wait for the “right time” to do so. It also showed me the importance of having a positive and relentless spirit for selfimprovement. That leadership is not as much as a destination, but a journey based on the stage of life you are in and to always keep growing and looking for ways to be a better person

Favorite 21CL Memory: My favorite 21CL memory is during Earthcare residential camp, where I got to meet a wide array of diverse people that I am still in contact with today. I remember the rope activity when everyone stood on one side of a rope that was placed on the floor and we were instructed to cross the line if the following statement(s) applied to us. And let me tell you, the statements that were read out were SO personal and reflective. They ranged from "cross the line if you miss your family right now" to "cross the line if you grew up in a singleparent household " I will never forget the feeling of crossing the line; my heart would feel heavy, and I would look to my left and right to see who was standing beside me By far, this was the most emotional and reflective activity I have ever participated in, thanks to 21CL leaders!
