Snow Day Activity

Throughout all of junior high and high school I was a member of Student Government. By my last two years I had even become class president. I really wanted to keep up with it in college. When I got to UIUC, I tried very hard to find the Student Government to join. However, they did not have a very large presence on campus and it was not until my second semester that an acquaintance of mine had said that he was a member of the Student Government and that he would be able to get me to join his committee. Well when I finally did get to go, the committee meeting was only about 10 minutes long and we did not have one for another two months. When I left UIUC, I had felt that it was so difficult to get involved with the Student Government and it did so little that I decided I would not try to become involved with it anymore. By letting go of that, I was eventually able to have time to join the Math Club here at Lewis and become a big part of that. It has been a much more enjoyable and enlightening experience in the one and a half years in Math Club than my 6 years of Student Government, and I feel that I am not missing too much without Student Government as a big part of my life anymore.
