Despite how it may feel sometimes, school isn’t just homework, grades, and tests. It’s about finding your people, and finding what sparks a light in your life. School is the perfect opportunity to discover who you are, and what interests you. Clubs further that opportunity. Whether you’re interested in acting, robotics, or even chess, there’s a club for you. If there’s not a club that you’re interested in, you might just be the one to start one.

Clubs are more important than just “after-school activities.” They’re the perfect opportunity to express creativity, demonstrate leadership, and develop new skills. They’re crucial for meeting new people and building connections that will last a lifetime. 

My name is Gracie Dowell and throughout this year, I’ll be your columnist, highlighting the many different clubs that Kearsley High School has to offer. I’m a senior this year, and I’m so excited to be working on The Eclipse. Stick around, you might just discover your next obsession.
