The Lads to Leaders program has helped me tremendously through many aspects of life. I have attended Lads for ten years now, and my final year is this March of 2016.
Every year, I have grown in knowledge and understanding of how to prepare for the activities we participate in. As I started to attend, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. As a second grader, the huge hotel with water fountains, arcade games, and a lot of people my age, really excited me! Even though I placed every year, I felt as if I was only going there to impress others and win these awards for my congregation by performing so well. However in 8th grade, that was all I thought lads to leaders was. Then I thought to myself why I am here, what is this really for, am I doing this to glorify myself or God?

These practices have given me a better knowledge of both the bible and His will for me. The past few years it has become exceptionally easy for me to prepare a speech, correctly pitch a song, and recall verses. I believe it is because of the skills of diligence and study that I’ve been taught through this life changing organization. These past two years alone, I have had the opportunity to speak at 5 different congregations, some more than once. Every time I speak, I become more confident and comfortable without using notes. I’ve noticed that I am able to recall parts of God’s word as I’m speaking, and that I thought Id never think of and This has made my speeches both more relatable and

Reid and Hogan make very clear the pitfalls that preachers can find themselves in. There is a temptation to compromise the purpose of preaching. “There is significant pressure on preachers to energize, engage, and entertain listeners while also sharing profound insight.” (19) There is one thing missing in the previous statement, a need keep the Scriptures in mind, because preaching without the Scripture is not preaching anymore, it is just public speaking.

I would like to join NYC Ladders for Leaders because I believe this program could help me in various ways. First, it would help me gain more work experiences. Even though school is important, I believe work experiences are equally important. There are some skills and knowledge that cannot be learned in a classroom; for instance, in a classroom, we just read about how to respond to different situations. Undergoing the situation in real life can be very different and can teach us something we can’t learn in school.

By volunteering at my local church and helping with local service projects, I have realized the commitment and perseverance it takes to lead by example. At my local church I continue to help with the organization of my youth group. After speaking at church staff meetings for several months we made it our goal to improve the youth group by ensuring that children and teens of all ages were included and had an opportunity to participate. I was able to create a system where teens who attended high school were paired with a middle school individual of the church. This provided a sense of inclusiveness and made the youth group more enjoyable for everyone.
