My KIWIN
As a freshman, I was introduced to KIWIN'S when my friend's older sister invit meeting. Going to the KIWIN'S meeting was fun because there were lots of there were also lots of fun school events that I attended. I eventually ended because I made friends with a lot of the people in the club, and because I that they always offered!
My favorite memory about KIWIN'S is when we volunteered to wrap Christm my freshman year. Even though it's not a spectacular or show-stopping eve favorite KIWIN'S memories is because it was one of the first times I got to talk club members. It was during this event that I truly felt the inclusivity of KIWIN part of the ohana!
If you're on the edge about joining KIWIN'S, that's okay! A lot of people initia is a perfectly valid reason to join KIWIN'S as well! Don't be scared to join bec my years in KIWIN'S have taught me anything, it's that inclusivity really runs d this ohana! Fun fact about me: In freshman year, I ran for the treasurer posit devastated because only 2 people ran for the position, and I was told that election process. What I've learned is that even if you fail, use it as a learnin scared to run for the same position again, I ran during my sophomore year position. However, while going through the process, a lot of members appro They remembered my past efforts during the previous election term and th that I continued to run for the same position even though I didn't make it be confidence, and even if you don't make it, bounce back and try again! Ev hard work will pay off, people will remember the effort you've put in, and yo Yours in Service,
