Wesley Clark was a member of the Leadership Academy program for four years. He participated in the Speech Contest where he received the covenant prize for two consecutive years. “While a student in the Leadership Academy program, I had the opportunity to meet men from all walks of life and they gave me the training needed to display my speaking skills.” Wesley likes to inspire others to be all that you can be and do not let peer pressure get you down. He wants to encourage others to find your own niche in life and make the best of it.
