Why I Joined Key Club

By: Ceinna Oniwa

I joined the key club because I wanted to experience and learn the ways I could help in my community. The Key Club has succeeded in helping students of all ages and abilities by giving us the opportunity to experience the real world and discover how we can help. While doing so, the Key Club has given me the opportunity to grow in leadership and as a citizen. With so many different events, I've learned to step up when needed and take on the task of leading others. Furthermore, I have been able to take on the role as a board member for the Key Club. We get to learn about what organizations help our world grow and in times like these, we need to be exposed to the effects things have on our communities. Also, as we age it's important for us to be more informed in our worldly matters so that were better prepared for our own futures; and what better way to experience that than firsthand! It's given me the opportunity to come together with others for a common purpose and have fun while doing it! Each meeting, event, and social event has allowed us to learn more about the power we have together and that is what I think is the most important reason for why I joined the Key Club… because we are given the ability to see the power we have to make a difference in the world together. It doesn't matter our age, race, gender, we all have the ability to make a difference in the lives of those who need it. Key Club has found organizations and events that have brought that message to life, so I can't imagine being without it!
