Jada Lee ('20) is completing her sophomore year as the 2018 CT Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership (HOBY) Seminar Ambassador for Kolbe Cathedral. This annual seminar invites sophomores throughout the state of Connecticut to spend a weekend on a college campus where they learn about leadership skills and how to apply these skills in order to make a positive impact on their community. Jada shared how she gained so much new information and knowledge on the topics of diversity, volunteerism, and excellence. One of the quotes that impacted her was "Rejection is redirection." Jada is ready to enter her junior year with a new sense of her own leadership skills as she reflects on her own experience of rejection and uses that to redirect herself to becoming a better person who will change the world.
