SOPHOMORES - HOBY Application, due 12/2!

-
Hello Sophomores!
HOBY is a 3-day leadership workshop for sophomores only. The program will take place at Bentley University June 12-14, 2020. The program has inspirational speakers, e.g., the founders of Life is Good, and lots of activities to help students better understand and embrace leadership through service to the community. The program doesn’t have a specific vision of what a leader looks like – a leader might be a quiet person who leads by example or a person who leads by embracing their wonderful self regardless of what peers think. The definition of a leader is BROAD! Our budding leaders who don't necessarily fit the typical mould and could use an opportunity to find their tribe and discover their leadership potential are especially encouraged to apply. 
The application process is outlined below:
We ask any interested sophomores to answer ALL the questions listed in FlipGrid by December 2 2019. Log in with Google - your school account information. You have up to 1 minute and 30 seconds to record a video answer for each of the following questions:
  1. Define what leadership means to you.
  2. Why is good leadership important in our society?
  3. Describe a leader you admire in the community or at the high school and why you admire this person.
  4. Describe a time when you have been a minority of one. (Or… If you haven’t had this experience, imagine how you would handle it and share your thoughts.)
The school counselors will review your responses and decide which students will be invited to be our ambassadors. Please let your counselor know if you have any questions!

We look forward to seeing your videos!
