Why did you join CKI?

I've had quite a bit of experience with superficial clubs, where people just do The Club Thing once a week while making awkward small talk and then go on with the rest of their lives. But

CKI wasn't like that at all The second time I went to a GBM, people actually remembered my name, which was meaningful for me because my name is usually harder to remember and pronounce Seeing the amount of thoughtfulness and kindness CKI members had made me stay because these people are the people I want to be like and be surrounded by.

Favorite CKI Memory: Amogus Egg

Did you do Key Club in high school?

Why do you love CKI?

I joined this club because I wanted to join a family of people who truly cared about bettering those around them. Over the past four years I got to watch every one of those people be the better person in the community Not just that, I got to see them grow into the better version of themselves CKI has changed so much about me and the people around me that I just could not let it go.

Favorite CKI Memory: I just remember my first lock-in (Fall 2019) was absolutely delirious. There's nothing like being stuffed in a church with a bunch of friends doing service. And nothing can replicate the energy of those same people collectively sharing one brain cell at 6 in the morning while also making PB&Js. What are you most excited for this year?

I'm ready to graduate and take the next big steps in my life! It's been a long time coming and I'm ready to face it also i am ready for the legend of zelda tears of the kingdom to release babeyy wooOOOO

Do you have any reflections you'd like to share about your time in the club?
