YMCA in One Word
YMCA means something different to each of us. Here’s how our members describe it in just ONE WORD.
Voices From Our Leaders
For a long time, I stayed in my comfort zone—avoiding risks, challenges, and even opportunities—just to feel safe. But everything changed when I stepped into a role that required me to speak, lead, and connect with others. (Communication Responsible then leader of Y-English Club) It wasn’t easy. I had to face fear, take responsibility, and give up some of my comfort. But through that, I discovered new skills, built confidence, and grew into someone I never imagined becoming. Today, I lead, I manage, and I keep learning. And I’ve realized this: Your growth begins the moment you choose courage over comfort.
When I joined YMCA, I first joined just for fun, until I realized it was actually a place full of opportunities and a place where I could learn so many things I might need later in life. Before becoming the leader of Y-Third Arts Club, I was a member of three other clubs. Through them, I never refused to learn new things. I also met many people from whom I gained knowledge in science, multimedia, and even psychology. I only gave up on a few things because… hmm, let’s just say they weren’t really for me xD. But most of what I learned, I’ve used in my business and personal life.
