WHATKEYCLUBTAUGHTME BY:THEOWINTER
Now after b eing a m ont h rem oved from hig h school and essent ially t he Key Club fam ily as well, I had t im e t o reflect just how m uch Key Club has chang ed m e. W hile I w as at church, m y p ast or asked m e t o help out wit h m aking snow cones after I w as d one eat ing . I felt like it had b een forever since I?d helped som eone out (and honest ly, life g et s p rett y b land after you finish your 122939539239595 Net flix ser ies), so p rom p t ly sat up and went t o w or k, t otally for g ett ing I d id n?t even finish m y hot d og and chip s! W hy, you ask? Because of Key Club, of cour se. After b eing a p ar t of t his g reat or g anizat ion, ser vice has b ecom e second nat ure t o m e. You d on?t just spend four year s, helping out at car nivals, d istr ib ut ing w ater t o racer s and w alking wit hout taking som e valuab le lessons wit h you. Key Club has taug ht m e t hat t here is alw ays som eone in need of help, and w hen you plant seed s of ser vice, you g et so m uch m ore b ack in ret ur n. After an hour and a half of cr ushing out ice, and scooping out per fect ly rounded shaved ice, I alm ost for g ot I w as w or king . Many ad ult s of t he church from t im e t o t im e w ould ask, ?are you t ired ?? You?ve b een w or king for aw hile,? b ut w hen you g et t o p ut a sm ile on ever yone w ho receives as snow cone?s face, you hard ly feel like you?re w or king at all. One t hing I have b enefitted trem end ously from in ad d it ion t o find ing t he jo y of ser vice is leader ship. There are a m yr iad of op p or t unit ies t o b e a leader in Key Club ! We have b oard m em b er s, com m ittee head s, g rade rep s, and t hat ?s only on t he club level! Key Club has leader ship p osit ions on t he club, d ivision, d istr ict and inter nat ional level! I fir m ly b elieve t hat if you w ant a p osit ion and you are deter m ined t o find one, you can g et one. After finishing m y year as p resident , I realized t hat m y p osit ions of leader ship in Key Club were t he m ost rew ard ing . You have t he ab ilit y t o connect wit h club m em b er s and ot her leader s on all levels of Key Club. And for secretar ies and ed it or s, after em ailing rep or t s and new sletter s for m ont hs, I?m sure it feels extra rew ard ing w hen you finally m eet t he Distr ict Ed it or and t he Distr ict Secretar y at DCON. As a b oard m em b er, I really enjo yed receiving help from ot her m em b er s of t he Kfam ily. My ad vice t o t hose of your w ho are looking t o g et m ore involved in Key Club. Do it ! I t hink som e people for g et t hat w hile club p resident s at m y school m ay alw ays b e senior s in hig h school, t he inter nat ional p resident of Key Club w as also a hig h school senior. Allow your self t o b e influenced by all t he w onder ful op p or t unit ies around you, cour tesy of Key Club. Go t o Key Leader, have fun at t hat d ivisional cook out and slay at all t he DCON com pet it ions. You w on?t reg ret attend ing t hem , b ut you just m ig ht reg ret m issing t he op p or t unit y t o p ossib ly chang e your later on if you d on?t . Good luck t o you all next year, I ser ve on!

AVIEWONKEYCLUB Key Club is g enerally perceived am ong st udent s as t he m ost p op ular, m ost act ive club ; hence, w hy t here are so m any eag er m em b er s t o join and stay for t heir hig h school career. I joined for t he sam e reason as m any of m y fr iend s encourag ed m e t oo, ad ver t ising t he club as t he per fect social plat for m for incom ing freshm en t o m eet new people and exper ience t he im p or tance of ser vice. After b eing a m em b er, as cor ny as it sound s, I d iscovered a p assion, b eing act ively involved in ser vice. Therefore, I decided t o r un for t he p osit ion of Fund raising Chair, ut ilizing m y exper ience wit h fund raising for ot her or g anizat ions t o use. W hat I?ve attained from b eing a Key Club b er is t hat Key Club allow s you t o develop your ind ivid ual com m unicat ion, leader ship skills t hat are cr ucial in t he fut ure. To b e ab le t o exper ience t his is g rat ifying as I am ab le t o reflect and develop m y skills as an ind ivid ual, str iving t o b e act ively involved in m y com m unit y, fur t her m ore, honing m y interest t hat I can fur t her use as I enter colleg e t his fall. I consider m yself p r ivileg ed wit h t he op p or t unit y of b eing on a b oard wit h d ilig ent officer s and b eing ab le t o lead a w onder ful com m ittee, b ut t o b e in a club t hat str ives t o sig nify value in volunteer ser vice. Key Club b er s join t o achieve t he sam e ob ject ives: m ake new fr iend s, p ar t icip ate in fun event s, and of cour se for colleg e ap plicat ions. Along t he w ay, we are ab le t o develop our selves as leader s and ind ivid uals, dem onstrated in our ser vice. There are m any ser vice or g anizat ions; however, I t hink t hat t he lear ning exper ience acq uired from Key Club is one you w ould not b e ab le t o g et in any ot her or g anizat ion. And I can't w ait t o use m y exper ience as a fellow Key Club b er as I g o t o colleg e and will b e exp osed t o m ore volunteer op p or t unit ies.
