Today, life was amazing. I got to meet some of the nicest people in the world at an Interact bonding at Piedmont Hills High School. At the start of my day, I was completely tentative because I had looked at the RSVP list, and I did not know a single person on that list. I said to myself, "you have to take chances, Kalvin." And a chance I took, and that chance was amazing. I came home after a few hours with great friendships made, and an extremely satisfied feeling.
My favorite part about Interact and friendships like these are the fact that everyone surrounding me in Interact has the desire and the will to meet new people. I expected some amount of exclusion or people leaving me out, but it was truly amazing to see that albeit all these people already in their "clique" of friends, they were still willing to include me in. I love Interact not only because I get to meet new people but because it shows me a different perspective, since at school I am often apart of the "in-crowd" as people call it, I like being part of the "out-crowd" and seeing what it is like and working my way and trying to meet new people while they have no natural opinion of me. The difference is at school, people are already assuming that I am a person of character, while at Interact, I am a clean slate, and friendships mean so much more that way.
