Good morning, Chattanooga!
What does it take to be a leader? How do you set realistic goals? How do you stay out of trouble?
Those were just a few of the questions addressed during last week’s 10th annual Boys Leadership Summit in Chattanooga.
“I want you to start thinking about not what’s going into your pocket,” Chattanooga native Adrian Darrell Davis said to a crowd of over 200 young men. “But [think about] what’s going towards your purpose.”
Myles Houston, 17, attended the event for the first time.
“[I’m] trying to get different tips and different points of view,” Houston said. “Really about what not to do and what to do. I really like [it].”
