Clubs are great ways to connect people with similar interests. If you've ever dreamed of starting your own club, you can easily make it happen with a little time and effort. Here are the ways for you!
First, ▲ . You may want to meet with other people to discuss similar interests, make or build things, play games, help other people and so on. Most clubs are hobby clubs.
Second, find a meeting place. You'll need a place for meetings. It must be easy for everyone to get to and large enough to hold all the members. If you want to meet at school, make sure your school allows that. You could also meet in a public space, like a park, cafe, or library.
Third, decide on the meeting time. After you know where to meet, you need to decide when. Choose a day of the week when your members are free, such as a Saturday. Once you have more members, you can discuss and come up with a meeting plan. It doesn't need to be long-one hour should be enough.
Last, begin welcoming new members. The best place to find members is from around you. Ask family members, friends, and classmates if they are interested in joining. Even if they're not interested, ask them to tell other people about your club. You could also put ads on your school noticeboard, WeChat, or QQ.
Then it's time to begin your first meeting
①where will we meet? ② Who will join me?
③ What kind of club it is? ④ When will we meet?
Kristina Morris didn't think she would end up attending college. At age 57, she had a career, a family and was looking forward to the next chapter in life. But after she retired (退休)she got bore. So when her son started attending Mesa Community College, she decided to join him.
I graduated from high school in 1980, so going back to school was very strange at first she said. But one of the special things at MCC is that there are a lot of returning students in their 30s, 40s and 50s. A lot of students were like me— moms who didn't have the chance to go to college earlier in life.
At times, it was difficult to balance her class schedule and take care of her mother and husband, both of whom have health problems. Then she found a solution. Morris took about half of her classes online "Even though I missed the communication with the teachers and classmates, online classes really helped with my schedule."
Morris got good grades in high school but wasn't sure she still could perform well in college "When I started at MCC. I never dreamed I would do as well as I have." Moms got two degrees in May, an Associate's Degree in Arts and an Arizona General Education Curriculum.
With her new degrees, Moms is planning to go back to work and is looking for an education administrative(行政的) position. "I really enjoy helping the students figure out their schedule and helping them get to where they need to go."
①She didn't have much time for class.
②She was not sure about her college performance.
③She didn't have enough money to pay the college fees
