SENIOR, WILSON, HISTORIAN, PUBLICITY COMMITTEE MEMBER

Why did you join Key Club?

I joined Key Club because I was looking for a club that aligned with my morals and was accepting.

What has Key Club taught you?

It has taught me the value of everyone in my community and how being able to offer my services will inspire others to do the same and in turn changing the world to be a kinder place.

What is your Key Club moment?

My first time at Fall Rally South 2019 was probably the most memorable time of my high school days and it was freshman year. I didn’t really know what to expect since I hadn’t been to six flags since I was very young which made it even more surprising. Yelling, screaming, chanting. There was nothing like the energy at the rally that I’ve ever felt in my life. Our division was probably the largest and had voices of passion and love for key club more than I’ve ever seen in my Kiwani journey. I felt like I was a part of a family cheering in that manner and the fact that we won the spirit stick made the rest of my day energized, confident, and above all content with where I was. I love keyclub, for all the opportunities it’s given me and all the long lasting friendships that I have acquired all because of that one moment that felt rewarding and memorable.

If someone is reluctant to join Key Club, what would you say?

Key Club is something that most are scared to join particularly out of the over the top spirit and how different it may seem from a “normal highschool club.” But that’s because keyclub more than a friendship but a family. You will learn a lot about yourself and a lot about how far you’re willing to push your limits to work on your good morals for the community. It will teach you leadership, time management, but most importantly acceptance. There will never be a high school experience more valuable than finding a place where you belong and keyclub is an opportunity to find a home with people who truly care about you unconditionally.
