It’s Turkey Month!
For some reason, people were jumping right to Christmas when Halloween ended. Here are some updates on what is happening in the New York District!
New York Speaking
Reflection
I had recently joined Circle K this semester. I learned about New York Speaking through attending club meetings and word of mouth from a friend. I heard it was centered around fellowship and was a very fun conference. I decided to go to gain a new experience and perspective. I was also a member of the host club, which was exciting. The first night there I was nervous, we went around tables and did speed dating with the older Kiwanians. As we introduced each other and spoke more, I got more comfortable. It was cool to hear how some of them knew about my tiny hometown. It was also comforting to hear their words about getting through college and becoming a young adult. I feel it is very inspiring to get to talk to older generations, as our generation is full of anxiety about the future. I also enjoyed all the games and activities we did as well. I met a lot of very nice members of different schools. I felt like I was in high school again doing fun things and being with other students. I also attended some workshops. In one of the workshops I went to, empowerment through education, they went over how important education is. We were also shown how to create bags that have essential items to help a child in school. This is an idea I would like to see my home club do. I am very happy to attend New York Speaking and would recommend it to those who would like to meet new people, build connections, learn new things, and have fun.

An education is the most powerful weapon that any individual can hold. As the key to self-empowerment and social mobility, an education allows individuals to have agency in their lives and choose their own paths.

SPECIAL NOTE
Sometimes I wonder whether I volunteer because I want to truly make an impact on someone or something, or if I do it for selfish reasons, because it makes me feel good about myself. But, at the end, it doesn’t matter. Even if I’m doing this for selfish reasons, isn’t this the best type of selfish one can be?
