Aiken is a 10th grader at St. Thomas' Episcopal School and a second year Alumni Council member.

I want to be a Youth Facilitator to refine my leadership abilities, discover new ones, and possibly divulge my weaknesses. I hope, not only to practice leading or help with leading a group of people, but to also analyze how individuals in a group of people interact with each other when trying to achieve a mutual goal and to use those interaction dynamics to help the group work better together and achieve greater cohesion.
