Sound of Silence
There are students at Wootton who tend to be quieter and more introverted. I am one of these students. This portion of students may struggle while socializing with others who are more extroverted and dominant. These students are even sometimes bullied. This club will focus on helping these students accept themselves as they are, build up confidence, improve social skills and public speaking, and deal with being misunderstood and underestimated.
Introverted students would have a safe space where they can improve all the skills mentioned above, which will benefit them even after their high school life. This club can provide emotional support for any student who is facing bullying or struggling with their social life. Such support would come from peer students (in addition to help from school counselors or mental health professionals) who have experienced similar struggles, which would be more relatable. This club would help the Wootton community become a safe space for students with different personalities.
