FHN has a wide variety of clubs, spanning from Mock Trial and FBLA to Sun Club or Ecology Club. There’s something for everyone, and just recently the new French Club has been starting up. The club is welcoming to all and encourages everyone to join and take a look at all that there is to do and learn.
“French Club is a club where people can explore more French culture, language, cuisine, music and more traditions,” junior Melanie Juarez said. “It will go more in depth than what we learn inside the classroom and it opens it up to all people.”
Starting up a club isn’t easy. It comes with many obstacles and challenges one has to face. There is a whole process one has to consider and then go through.
“I’ve had some challenges within starting the club with speaking with activities directors, getting to know how many people are interested and hanging up flyers,” Juarez said.
Joining French Club can bring one many new insights and chances they might not have had the chance to get beforehand.
“I think that starting French Club will open up a lot of opportunities to those people who maybe drop French because they couldn’t fit it into their schedule, so they can start practicing again,” Juarez said. “I think it will open up opportunities to those who couldn’t even take a language at all, for if they would at least want to learn some phrases or words, or those who just want to experience more games, cooking, and stuff like that.”
The students at FHN are already enjoying the experiences they are able to get from the new French Club after partaking in the first meeting, and there is already a positive view on how the club will impact the students who join.
“I think [the benefits that students will get is that] they’ll learn about the culture in other countries, which is of course good for anyone, and that it will be a place where people can have fun,” sophomore Pinar Koc said.
