Cheyenne Stapleton will be heading to Troy University for a week this summer to participate in the Alabama Governor’s Youth Leadership Forum.

Stapleton was among 40 students around the state invited to the event. YLF delegates are selected through a statewide competition that seeks students with disabilities who have leadership potential.

She said she was excited to be selected and is looking forward to the conference.

“I’m looking forward to making new friends and getting to stay in a dorm at Troy University,” Stapleton said. “It will be the first time I’ve been away from my mom.”

During the forum, delegates will write a personal leadership plan to assist them in becoming leaders in their communities. They will also spend a day in Montgomery, where they will tour the Capitol, learn about state government and interact with and seek advice from successful adults with disabilities at the Angeline Pinckard Mentor Luncheon.

Stapleton, a senior at Hartselle High School, is a black belt in karate and was named the homecoming queen this past fall.

“That was exciting to be named the homecoming queen,” she said.

The things she hopes to gain from the conference include self-esteem, self advocacy and independent living.
