“Leading my She's the First campus chapter has been the most fruitful experience of my high school career. I will forever be grateful for the opportunities She's the First provided for me to learn more about gender equality, activism, and how to contribute to local and global communities. Establishing my She's the First campus chapter as a leading club at my high school is my most prideful accomplishment, and I can't express how much I've loved being an active member and leader within it.”
