When I had first joined Key Club, I could not even begin to fathom the amount of doors and possibilities it would open to me. As I began my journey with the club, I realized there’s so much more to it than just volunteering. Key Club has helped me build the foundations I need to be successful and better connect to people from my own school to across the country. Joining this organization comes with a lot more than you would assume. When hearing about this club, you assume, “It’s an organization through which I get to volunteer. This sounds easy.” Yet, as I became more involved within Key Club, it has taught me valuable skills that I will take along with me forever. Such as time management, prioritizing, and communication skills. As Key Club is not my only commitment, I learned how to balance many things at once and continue to achieve my goals with 110%. These skills have helped create a positive impact within my life and will continue to in the future. For that, I am thankful to Key Club. Along with time management skills, my communication skills have improved drastically. Being part of such a big organization, requires you to constantly talk to your fellow club members, officers, teachers, adults organizing the events, etc.. Therefore, lacking the ability to establish what you want to say and the ability to comprehend what others want is not an option. These people skills will not solely benefit me only within Key Club, but like time management, throughout my whole life. I’m truly grateful for this strong, positive impact within my life. Key Club connects together so many people to create a network of people as small as one classroom to thousands of high schools across the nation. Through meetings, events, and DCON, I have been able to meet amazing, brilliant people that I would have never had the pleasure of meeting, had it not been due to Key Club. It has been as small as reconnecting with an old friend at an event to meeting someone from a different city/state. Yet, these people mean so much to me already and I see as lifelong friends. Key Club is not just an organization through which to do volunteer events, but rather a foundation bringing millions of people together to assist their community, creating bonds that will never break, and teaches valuable skills to students across the nation. To Key Club, I am thankful for the greatest, positive effect in my life since entering high school. Comments are closed.
