In high school, I wasn't too terribly involved like I feel most kids are nowadays. I wasn't in 20 different clubs, and I wasn't the captain, president or in a leadership role for most of them either. But the activities that I was in, I stuck with for the long haul. Like my high school's newspaper, which I participated in for two and half years where I served as a staff reporter, advancing onto Online Editor and Community Editor later on in my high school career. Newspaper required a lot of my free time during school and outside of school, so participation in other large time-demanding clubs was hard to do. During high school, I was also actively involved with my church's youth group where I served on the Student Leadership Team, which helped organize events and make big decisions for the youth group as a whole. Also, during the summertime I was participant in my church's Ultimate Frisbee league, where I was a team member for two years.
In college, I've only joined a social sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta and my community's hall government so far. But, I plan on joining the design team for the Maneater and the RAMS Steering Committee and maybe playing Ultimate Frisbee at Mizzou here as well. So far, the only informational sessions I've attended about joining clubs and whatnot has been during Summer Welcome and various forms of open houses like the Journalism Open House that was held a few weeks ago. These events have been very helpful in answering my questions about what is available out there for me to get involved with and how I can do so. There also many other organizations that I would love to get involved with, but like I was in high school, I only plan to get involved with one or two large time-restricting organizations and join a few smaller ones as well, and then dedicate the other big junk of my time to schoolwork.
