Jackie's story shows that you don't have to be a future doctor to learn the skills needed for leadership, whether it's in the public or the private sector. As the 90th Anniversary goes on for the rest of the year, I look forward to finding more stories like Jackie's that can show the diverse range of experiences from former youth volunteers.
