December 2010 Member of the Month
Mya Winslow
Mya
Winslow is December’s Member of the Month because she is a prime
example of what we, as youth workers, hope to achieve. When she first
became a member at the Gene Mack Clubhouse she was self seeking. Yet
every year that has passed we have seen her grow into a magnificent
young woman. Instead of being self-seeking she would give anything
for her friends whether it is a helping hand, a crying shoulder, or a
turn in the games room. Her joyful exuberance has a way of making
everyone feel welcome. In addition she uses her intelligence and her
leadership to mentor younger members, especially in regards to their
homework. Not to mention she has an infectious determination.

Mya is a great kid. She is always on top of her homework, without
fail. She is consistently there for her friends. Nine times out of
ten she has a radiating smile on her face. She is a pleasure to have
around and it’s been great to see her grow over the past 1.5 years.
Congrats Mya, you definitely deserve this honor!
Christopher:
Mya Winslow has an infectious exuberance that follows her in all she
does. What is most admirable in Mya, however, is her ability to pick
herself up and keep trying even in the face of adversity. Mya's
positive attitude reminds us that success doesn't mean always
winning; it means chasing victory even after disappointment.
