Have you ever felt as if you work so hard, yet you don’t get recognized? Not shining bright enough among millions of other stars. That’s normal; it would be hard not to feel that way at least some of the time, going to a high school with nearly 4,500 kids. Sometimes it’s overwhelming how much time, hard work, and effort students put into their academics and extracurricular activities.
Well, with this overpopulation of students, a club here at Eleanor Roosevelt is actually dedicated to making scholars feel truly recognized for all their hard work and achievements, big or small. This spectacular club is dedicated to recognizing students on campus who don’t usually reside in the spotlight. They do this through several events such as Meet and Eats, Lawnches, and hosting the BEST tickets on campus. These events spark and create a community of scholars where they can feel uplifted and truly shine.
Asking President Giovanna the question: ” How has being in the Renaissance impacted your life today?”
She responded, “Renaissance impacted my life by making me become the leader that I am today. Being a part of this club presented opportunities where I can grow as a person and be more inclusive. This club allowed me to create new friendships where we can bond over the work that we do, as well as uplift each other and people on campus. Being the President grants me the opportunity to make a change within my campus and leave a legacy for future students to experience.”
This past month, Renaissance hosted a Recognition Assembly where they invited 500 scholars from different walks of life to a celebration for all their hard work.
This task was not easy. They spent months planning and gathering. They even had the Chick-fil-A mascot come out and give gift cards to the audience.
Finally, let’s hear from the other president, Madison Fragiacomo, responding to the question, ” What do you love most about Renaissance?”
She responded, ” The inclusivity of everyone surrounding me, with the collaboration of new ideas, to truly foster a community that is worth being part of.”
If you want to be a part of the Renaissance, you should seriously consider joining in the years to come.
