Lieutenant Governor’s Note

Hello dear Key Clubbers,

As most of you may already know, I’m your lieutenant governor

for this 2012-2013 Key Club year! I’m so ecstatic to serve you guys

this year: I’ve been looking forward to this for quite some time. I

can honestly say that you guys have definitely made my life so

much better, and I can’t emphasis how much I love you guys al-

ready.

I’m currently a junior at Mansfield Summit High School, and I’ve

been in Key Club since my freshman year, due to the constant

pestering of my brother to join. Initially, I didn’t understand why he

loved Key Club so much, but as time passed, I came to realize the

joys of being an integral part of this organization. My personal fa-

vorite thing about Key Club is the leadership skills you build when

you realize that you can make an impactful difference on those

surrounding you. Although I am involved in other organizations in

my school, I truthfully believe that this club offers the most hands-

on experience to prepare an individual for the real world—

leadership, service, integrity, team work, and social interaction.

Besides Key Club, I also participate in UIL Academics, National

Honor Society, Academic Decathlon, and band. For those inquir-

ing minds, I play a pretty quirky instrument, the bassoon. And yes,

I suppose I qualify as a nerd/geek. I’m one of those kids you see

carrying giant backpacks, a huge instrument, and textbooks while

running to class. I am a huge fan of viruses, and I even have a

rhinovirus (common cold) giant microbe plush! As you can see, I

am a sucker for science, and my calculator is my best friend at

school.

When I’m not busy doing Key Club things or being a typical nerd, I

conform to my natural Asian tendencies. I love watching Asian

animes/dramas. Ramen is my favorite snack. Not to mention, my

room is filled with stuffed animals, especially spherical ones. I also

really like playing video games, such as, Little Big Planet, The Sims,

and failing at Call of Duty.

I’m a pretty awkward person at times, but I absolutely love talking

to Key Clubbers! Please don’t ever be afraid to talk to me! I’m just

a normal high school student just like you! I’ve experienced a di-

versity of problems as a key clubber, and I can most likely empa-

thize with you if you ever have any problems! I look forward to a

great year with you guys. Let’s make beautiful memories and

have a great year of service in our wonderful division of 39S!

District Convention Recap: DCON this year was held at the Sheraton Hotel from April 12th—15th. And I must say, this was the best DCON yet.

Service truly is the Key to Paradise! From the great learning experience at the forums, the guest speaker whose mot-

to is “This ain’t your dream!," election of the new district staff, banquet, Governor’s ball, and the Sunday breakfast, I

had the time of my life. I look forward to seeing everyone at DCON after another great year of service!
