Key Club Key Club January Drip Check

Kenneth Nguyen | 12 | Vice President

Only one month left of the term by the time you read this. That means I have been in Key Club for 42 months, since September 2019. Over the past 4 terms, I have made so many memories that I will never forget and many friendships that I will cherish. I was able to meet so many new people and become close friends with some. With hundreds of events attending and almost 700 total service hours, I have definitely committed so much to Key Club events because I enjoyed them. And these hours don’t include the hours I have put in for 3 terms as Club Publicist, Project Chair, and Vice President! I don’t regret the time I put in, because, at the end of the day, I’m glad to have made such a large impact on my community and world because I was able to.

Each term was so different, with meetings held at different locations, as well as completely different events. In my freshmen year, I went to weekly meetings in Mrs. Vosskuhler’s room and attended many events involving marathons and 5Ks, whether it was the actual race or registration days. The next year was the COVID year, where weekly meetings were held on Google Meets, and the majority of projects I took part in were Charity Miles and writing letters to those in need. Finally returning back my junior year, I took part in Brookhurst Pantry as well as holiday events, while general meetings were held next to the Zen Garden. And the final year of all, my senior year. Meetings in Mr. Douthat’s room, and I, unfortunately, wasn’t able to volunteer as much as I wanted to. It would be because I am completely burnout from all my clubs, or some would say, a symptom of senioritis. Every year I have seen the seniors go through this, and now I understand how they felt. The desire to just relax after years of hard work. That’s why you all should enjoy and go to as many events as you can before it’s too late! I hope to see all of you at our meetings in my last month of Key Club :,(.
