My favorite thing about Crystal is the endless opportunities! Crystal promotes a try-it-all attitude, encouraging students to join new clubs or pursue activities of interest. I joined the robotics team in my first year, knowing nothing about electronics or coding, but the team made me feel welcome and taught me everything I know. Whether it’s eating wet burritos after competition or shooting basketballs into the crowd, we’re like a family. The majority of Crystal’s clubs are “for students by students.” As a freshman, I was amazed by the broad spectrum of student-led organizations. The variety of options led me to try Mock Trial; I was in the Redwood City courtroom for half a year before a judge and attorneys. Previously, I never would have considered public speaking, much less debate. Crystal is unique in how everybody is supported in their pursuits, and these growth opportunities have shaped who I am.
