Gloriana Sojo, Graduate Student and Teaching Assistant at George Washington University, gave an inspirational speech at the International Young Leaders Assembly that hosted over 1,000 young leaders from around the world at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City on August 18, 2015.

Sojo encourages participants to not worry if they are not where they want to be yet–CEOs of companies etc–but to strive for goals slowly and steadily one step at a time.

The International Young Leaders Assembly is hosted by the Global Peace Foundation and Global Young Leaders Academy.
