Personal Narrative: Joining A Club

Improved Essays
Frantically searching for any kind of opportunity, I quickly became frustrated. Joining a club that required me to donate my minute amounts of free time was an awful idea. Regardless, I looked everywhere to find something, anything. I did not know where to start, but after asking around, I stumbled upon an organization called Days for Girls. I was completely unaware of what I would be doing, but I was out of time to care. On a snowy January morning, I begrudgingly drove myself to a dated building with a complex floor plan. Twenty minutes later, I ambled into cramped workroom complete with various sewing tools and fabric strewn about. After becoming acquainted with everyone, I was immediately whisked away to work on installing buttons. While

    Seated on the plane to Beijing, I was thinking all the way on what I did through the past year. My mind went back to the time when my friends and I worked together for Chinese orphans by creating a club. With 100 dollars from donation, I asked several classmates to help me set up a club called ‘Bring Me Hope Club’ to cooperate with a global NGO: Bring Me Hope, to raise money for Chinese orphans and build long-term personal one-to-one relationships with them.…

    As a member of a club called "The Best Buddies Club", our role as a member of the club was to be assigned a buddy whom suffered physical disabilities for a large majority of their life. Throughout my experience I had met many kids around my age with certain disabilities, and with that I learned about the lives lived by each and everyone of them. A few told me sorrowful stories of a time they were bullied either physically or verbally. It brought great disappointment to humanity as a whole, those kids were one of the sweetest I've ever met. This led our group and I to spread awareness with a motto of "spread the word to end the word", directed at abolishing the use of the word "retard" or as we called it "the r-word".…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    I joined Anchor Club as a follower. I attended my first club meeting with a friend and committed without hesitation. For years, I had been one of those people who would or wouldn’t do something based on the amount of friends I had participating in the same thing. By sophomore year, this began to change. By junior year, that part of me was almost nonexistent – and now, I find myself to be an entirely different person, not basing my own actions on others, and being confident in myself, encouraging new experiences of my own.…

    Being a silly freshman in high school who hadn’t a clue what to do, I would typically just go home and have hours of free time. Then one day I came across an announcement at school that said “Come to the Key Club meeting every Wednesday, there’ll be free candy”. Of course I was interested the moment I saw free candy; who doesn't want free candy? Besides, I wanted to be a part of a club at this opportunity-filled place called high school. I joined then, and stayed for all four years.…

    When I first came here in Canada, I had no friend or family that I could rely on, so I was so eager to get new friends to gain a sense of belonging. That was the time I hung out with some international students. We were partying, playing billiards and staying up all night. I enjoyed it at first because I felt like home, with friends having fun together, but it didn’t last for long. I started to realize the parties took over my life, but I knew if I stopped hanging around with them, they would kick me out of the “group”.…

    My school community is filled with opportunities to make the world a better place for others. There are so many service trips and groups dedicated to fundraising at my school, which I've also participated in, but there was an atmosphere dedicated to just trying to raise the most money possible and send it off somewhere. That's why now, as group leader of the Philosophy Club, my advisor and I try to emphasize that this club isn't about raising money but instead trying to create a space for discussion which didn't really exist outside of certain classrooms. I didn't personally start the Philosophy Club at my school but I've been a dedicated member.…
