Apply yourself

High school is a time to both discover yourself and develop skills

Mill Valley is home to many groups, clubs and organizations and because of that, students have the opportunity to get involved in a number of activities. This diversity allows them to learn a number of valuable life skills such as leadership, respect and personability.

By being involved in different things, you are able to meet people you otherwise never would have. One of the many reasons that I have come to love participating in the band is that I am able to meet people that I never thought I would, and many of them have become my close friends.

You are also able to develop leadership skills in sports or organizations. In a sport you may be the team captain and be seen as a leader by your peers, which is a great life skill to have. While, in band you may be a low chair and have to seek guidance from those above you rather than being the leader, which also a great life skill. I have been in both of these positions and can attest to the fact that each skill is valuable. Each individual skill allows you to connect with your peers and the leader is able to relate the followers and vice versa.

Though being involved is tiring, time consuming and a lot of work, it is beneficial to students to try and widen their horizons and apply themselves to groups that they wouldn’t have otherwise tried. I know I’m glad I did.
