I can honestly and confidently say that I wouldn’t be where I am without Key Club. I was a really a shy girl that was just dying to get out and socialize. High school hit me hard, I was pushed into a surrounding with hundreds of strangers. Key Club changed my life because I can go up to anyone and have a conversation, I have so many friends, and I’m extremely sociable. Key Club brought the best out of me and I don’t know how to thank you. First day of freshman year, I was lost and confused. So many upperclassmen taking advantage of us underclassmen and the hallways were extremely crowded. One day, I heard over the announcement about a “Key Club meeting after school”, out of mere curiosity I proceeded to go. I walked in so unprepared, they wanted us to do ice breaker activities. Socializing with so many different peoples, ranging from every grade, race, and etc. I freaked out, I was new to this whole thing. Then, out of nowhere, a nice girl in one of my periods asked to be my partner. Since it was a familiar face, I felt a little bit more comfortable. After the ice breaker, they asked us to take a seat so they could go over basic information about the club. I went home contemplating if this club is the one for me. I was so different from this group of people I thought I could never fit in, but it was also an opportunity in getting out of my shell. I thought, “What the heck, let’s do it.” I filled out all the paperwork and turned it in the next day. Not a day goes by do I regret that decision. I am extremely thankful in my choice. I have so many friends whom I get to call my bestfriends, I can talk to anyone, and the shell I once was in was finally broken. Today, I am a Key Club officer. If anyone were to tell me that on the night of contemplation I would’ve never joined. Officers are active, fun and sociable, something I never considered myself as, so to be an officer for the club was just unbelievable. Key Club brought out the best in me and I couldn’t be happier! Key Club will always be part of my story and I’m excited to continue my journey. |
