Camryn Shupe considered herself lacking a certain charac­teristic before her involvement with SkillsUSA.

That trait — confidence — has grown since she started with the national organization that seeks to help secondary school and college students build per­sonal and academic skills.

“I was very hesitant with my­self,” said Shupe, a rising junior at Wylie High School who is a district officer with SkillsUSA. “I was very unsure.
