Bio

My name is Leyah Windom. I am a 14 year old young lady that just entered the 9th grade. I have 3 sisters. I am a very out going and independent young lady. I volunteer with the Oakland Area Chamber of Commerce and Oakland Beautification Committee within my small community. I ran track and did powerlifting from 2022-2023 school year.

      Personally success for me is continuously improving positively in my choice of field study. Becoming successful that my field of choice. Making a positive impact to better improve your life as well as the life of others. Success is being a motivator for others to push them to their best potential. Proud and passionately engaged in the community. A way is to help young people to be successful at any positive thing that they decided to be dedicated to pursue. This could be done thru scholarships, other funding, work ethics and skill development. This including financial literacy training, staying organized and learning from failure. Success is an ever evolving positive outcome of improving in all areas of your life no matter how little or big. Connecting with a diversity of youth to collaborate and build personal and professional skills such as leadership skills, time management, networking, public speaking, improving etiquette and improving communication across all aspects in life. Give back to my community by building it up in all areas. One way to engage in my community is by collaborating with other successful people with a passion for building communities to offer leadership opportunities. Grants and grant writing are other ways to help other strategically build their communities. Listening to the needs and wants of the community during community wide meetings. Using the community strengths and assets to develop recreation, tourism and job opportunities. Daycare and educational needs for children ages 0 -5 years old.
