"The purpose of Teen Lead-ership isto develop leaders. Isawa real need for a program to helpteens develop into leaders. Teenshave fresh ideas and things tosay. but don' t know how to eHec-l ively communicate them to aduhsand to get others to l is ten to them,so I started TL to teach theseski lls," Flippen said.

Teen Leadership meets ev-ery Wednesday night for ten weeksfrom 7-9 at the Brazos Center.Sessions are conducted by Flip-pen. Teen leadership c lasses arecomposed 0 1 2 5 Bryan High andA&M Consolidated High Schools tudents, most ly juniors and sen-iors.

Students are nominated byteachers, principals, coaches, orcounselors who. through theirschool interaction with these stu-dents, think that these studentshave potential leadarshlp abilitiesand have the credibi li ty Ihat wouldmake adults and other teens lis-ten to Ihem. Just because a teenis nominated, doesn't mean thathe or she will make the class. Anappl ica tion and two le tters of rec-ommendation are reviewed anomination committee.

There are also adult mentorswho attend sessions with the teens.Mentors do assignments, as wel las give weekly speeches. TLmentors are chosen in the samemanner asthe students Mentorsare local businessmen and womenin the communi ty who care aboutteens and bel ieve tha t they real lycan make a change in our world.

Steve Hil l, Business Editor ofthe Eagle and TL mentor said,"!get a sat is faction in knowing thatIcan help a litlle. Tl gives you theopponunity to help youth improveand grow into good citizens whocan make a posit ive inf luence intoday's society. Also, I feel thatthe mentors gain and learn just asmuch as the teens in these classesand can also benem."

TL is funded by local busi-nesses in theformof scholarshipsand is avaliable to students at nocost. These businesses are inter-ested in develop ing leadershipabilities in teens as future busi-ness men and women.

TL is designed to help teenspresent themselves profession-

ally and to communicate effec-tively by giving weekly speecheson top ics l ike "A Be lief tha .1 HoldStrongly and Why~ or "An Impor -tant Lesson ILearned."

"In TL, I have reallylearned to speak in fron tof alot of people and Ifeellike the skills that I learnthere can help me in thefuture."

Tanya Ell is, also a junior, saidshe lee Is pretty much the sameway.

Ellen Bowen, a junior, added,"1just want to encourage anyonethat has the opportunity to takeIhisclass togo for i t, because thisIS probably the best c lass you wi llever take and learn so much. Nof.only during your leens, but throughout the rest of your lile."
