Boys And Girls Club Analysis

The first time I took a step into the Boys and Girls club room during my sophomore year, all I saw was a vast amount of people working on school assignments, I was very scared to come inside because I had a fear that I was going to be judge based on my religion and my cultural identity, which are qualities that have always been important to me. When I first came in I sat down with my friend Carla and we were working on a math assignment, The club was situated in the library that day, it wasn't loud but it also wasn't quite it was an environment that was comfortable to work in. Once I realized that I had nothing to worry about, the other youth at the club accept me without any issues, which has allowed me to feel more comfortable being the person that I am.
I was lucky enough to meet some really cool people which became my new friends. My experience at the club has been phenomenal; not only has the Club helped me academically, but it has made me grow as a person as well. The Club opened my mind and made me realize that there is much more in life than a world full of people to fear. I have been able to change my entire outlook and attitude towards life. Before my sophomore year at Roberto Clemente Community Academy, I was really timid, had low self-esteem and turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. I would find myself saying no all the time to opportunities that were offered to me. Looking back into my childhood remembering what were the causes of my low self esteem and why i grew up to be really shy was because I lived with my mom and her boyfriend and he was a really awful person, He would make sure that I wouldn't talk to anyone or have any friends so I grew accustomed to this
