D13S Water Wars DCM
JP, D13S
At the June Water Wars DCM, I had a lot of fun! The DCM was held at South Gate Park with D13N and D13W. After briefly getting lost in the park, I joined one of the three division-mixed groups for the icebreaker. Afterwards, our division’s 5 committees were announced, as well as the monthly recognition for June, followed by folding origami cranes for service with the help of the LTGs and Google. We then played a game of tug-of-war before getting into the water war. It was fun getting to attack the other divisions with water balloons, and even funnier seeing the three division leaders go after each other. It's debatable who came out victorious, but I’d say D13S took home the win. All in all, it was great to get out of my comfort zone with this event and I can’t wait for the next DCM.

Volunteering at the Teen Leadership program has been incredibly rewarding. Whether setting up chairs, leading activities, or mentoring teens in their emotional growth, every moment has been fulfilling. Seeing them gain confidence and build connections has been inspiring. This experience has taught me patience, empathy, and the power of supportive leadership, enriching my life profoundly. It has also given me better communication and teamwork skills. Watching the teens improve and tackle challenges has shown me how important community support is. The friendships I've made with the teens and other volunteers have been really meaningful and will stick with me.
