"I love being a YoungLife leader. It's a great way to connect with students outside of the classroom. It brings me life as well as joy to everyone there. Some advice I have for high school students is to figure out who you are and what you want. If you can solidify those two things, your choices will be grounded and firm. Sure there were times where I didn't follow my own advice. I'm human and imperfect like everyone else. But as a teacher and a YoungLife leader, what I say or encourage is always ringing in the back of my head, keeping me accountable to myself, which is a good thing." --Anton Ruiz, English teacher
