Five Star Changed my Life
Courage, respect, responsibility, integrity and sacrifice are traits I never really thought about until I became involved in an after-school club called Five Star. It is a social group whose aim is to build self-esteem and teach life lessons to young people. Since being in that club, I think about these valuable traits on a daily basis.
At the beginning I wasn't sure if I would like Five Star, but I decided to do it because my friends were joining. After meeting our coaches and listening to the goals of the club, I became very excited about participating because I really wanted to work on becoming a more caring person. Wednesdays now became my favorite day of each week because of Five Star.
My favorite part of Five Star was going on a day trip to Camp Manowe and trying new things that related to the goals of the club. A few things we did that were related with the goals were: we went on a high ropes course to show courage, we gave up things we didn't need to charity for sacrifice, and helped clean up the camp for responsibility. I had a great time helping out the community and it taught me a lot on how little things can make a big difference.
During the eight week course of the club, my view on courage, respect, responsibility, integrity and sacrifice changed. I try to put myself in an others shoes, and think about how I would like to be treated. I try to help out people who are not as fortunate as me. I try to show as much respect to others as I possibly can. I was taught how to improve these skills every Wednesday in my favorite after-school club, Five Star.
