[0:01] [Music] [0:03] So for me being involved has like made [0:05] it really easier for me to be outgoing [0:08] especially because um I've given like a [0:11] bunch of public speaking a bunch of just [0:14] like meeting new people and like from [0:16] other groups and just like getting to [0:19] know them and how they run their groups [0:21] which has like helped me to become a [0:22] better leader. I am like helping with [0:25] setting up everything, helping with [0:27] emailing, helping with like u making [0:30] sure that the events actually happen and [0:32] talking to all of our principles and our [0:34] liaison and our superintendent to make [0:36] sure that like all of our cultural [0:38] events actually take place, especially [0:41] for culture week, which was really fun. [0:43] And that also definitely helped me to [0:45] like be more open about my culture [0:48] because before I was like really I [0:52] didn't really know about my culture that [0:53] much and with all the groups it like [0:55] made me feel more [0:57] um supported and more like I can be [1:00] myself around everybody else here which [1:02] was really nice and also just helped me [1:05] to enjoy high school more I feel like [1:08] because it gave me more of of support [1:10] system and it gave me more of [1:12] uh friends and like I had like a little [1:16] family here which was really nice.
