Freshman year. Although many have already been at Whitney for a couple of years, the workload will only increase from there. Planning and time management are very important as this will help you stay on top of all your work to prevent procrastination. As a majority will participate in sports, time management will play a crucial role in getting all work done. Aside from workload, before school gets even more stressful, meet new people, and hang out with friends. This will help take your mind off school work and can help you refocus on bigger tasks. Adding on, while studying, it is important to take breaks to stay focused and prevent burning out. Meeting people from the grade above is very helpful as they would be able to provide valuable advice for courses they have taken recently. Lastly, be sure to enjoy freshman year. It flies by like a snap before school gets more and more challenging. Joining Key Club was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Through the club, many will be able to embark on many opportunities, learn leadership skills, and build a family around them. Although joining at first may be intimidating, I highly encourage all to attend your first service event. Getting out there and serving the community is one of the best experiences and opportunities one can have. Along with that, make sure to talk and get to know your fellow key clubbers at these events. This will make the events much more fun and exhilarating. Adding on, going to meetings will inform you and update you on all of the upcoming events. Here, you will be able to participate in service events and meet people from all grades. Whenever you have any questions, or just want to talk, make sure to contact any Key Club Cabinet member. We’ll always be here and guide you through your year of transition. As a result, make sure to look for the bright yellow sun at club rush to sign up!
