April
Taylor, 19,
of Smithdale
said she
became an
Ole Miss
Women’s
Council
scholarship
because she
thought it
would give
her a way to
flourish
while at
college.
“I’m a very
in-my-shell
kind of
person,”
said the
freshman
English
major. “I
thought the
servant
leadership
program
would help
me come out
of my
shell.”
Taylor said the
servant leader
aspect was
particularly
interesting
because in high
school her
leadership roles
were in the form
of serving as a
secretary or
treasurer. She
said she already
has gained a new
perspective on
leadership roles
from OMWC
events.
“They made me
feel like it was
OK to be
behind-the-scenes.
It’s OK to be me
and be a
leader,” she
said.
Taylor said
after
graduating, she
wants to teach
English and
journalism at
the high school
level. She said
she plans on
taking the
examples in the
OMWC and
applying them
during her
career.
“I want to know
that I
influenced my
students. I want
to help people.
I want to make
people realize
their
self-worth. I
want them to
realize how
important they
are so they can
give it their
all.” |
