    I learned in THRIVE how to be a responsible person, both in my family and community. THRIVE gave me a good idea of how to change from being an introvert to a more social person by remembering my strengths. THRIVE helped me to be a flexible person. In the midst of problems, it means accepting challenges and opportunities with enthusiasm and creativity. THRIVE helped me build relationships with people from other countries and cultures. Being part of THRIVE gave me the courage to not be shy anymore.

    THRIVE taught me so much during high school. THRIVE has taught me to be a better leader and to be a better version of myself. I use the lessons I learned from THRIVE in my professional job now. I'm glad I was part of the Thrive Club because it taught me to be who I am and where I am today.

    "Joining the THRIVE Leadership Club in high school transformed me from a shy freshman to a confident officer over four years. Through the club, I developed essential communication skills, found a mentor who inspired me to work with students worldwide, and discovered my passion for empowering young minds. Today, I make a meaningful impact by sharing wisdom and guidance with students nationwide, all because of the life-changing experience I had in the THRIVE Leadership Club."

    Personally, THRIVE helped me a lot to feel part of a community in a country other than mine, as well as supporting me academically, whether by giving me advice on how to improve my classes or how to get opportunities for school. On the other hand, THRIVE also helped me to develop my knowledge about English and its practice and also to be able to express my opinion much more in public.
