Page 4B Hays Free Press • July 25, 2012 Leadership Camp Continued from pg. 3B with instruction in leadership skills and activities geared to- ward becoming leaders, both in high school and in life. "I met so many great people and we're keeping in touch; we write letters to each other, not e-mails," Banner said. Founded in 1958 by O'Brien, an actor, HOBY now has more than 375,000 alumni. O'Brien was inspired by Dr. Albert Schweitzer, famed Ger- man doctor-theologian-mu- sician and 1952 Nobel Peace Prize winner for his efforts on behalf of the "Brotherhood of Nations." Schweitzer told O'Brien that he felt "the most impor- tam thing in education is to teach young people to think for themselves," which O'Brien would never forget. After visit- ing Schweitzer in Africa for nine days, O'Brien came back to the Ohited States prepared to make a difference in the world. Banner said HOBY leaders challenged the students to do 100 community service hours before coming back next year as volunteers. "They told us that helping others will help you," Banner said. He was already on the right track before the camp; Banner volunteers at the ballpark--40 hours so far--helping with field maintenance. He has been in- volved with a food kitchen in Kyle delivering food. Banner is also third in his class of 551 stu- dents. "I really want to be vaiedicto- dan," he said. One of the standout mo- ments for Banner at HOBY was creating a business plan for a new product. His team invent- ed an iPhone case for retract- able headphones. "We had to develop the whole plan; who to sellit to, how much it would cost to manufacture," Banner said. "Then we bad consultants critique our proj- ects and we presented the final plans to millionaire investors." While his team didn't win. Banner said it was a valuable exercise in leadership. "The most important thing I learned at HOBY was that no matter what type of leader you are, communication is the key," Banner said. \ \ ~Ct~NCE H~L~ \ BM Healthy Overweight Obese Severly Obese Underweight No Score ~MPHILL Hays GISD 13 elementary schools and BMI totals of students.
