text: My brother joined a programming club in 9th grade, and continued to do it every year. This club helped him understand the material he learned in his computer science class, and he excelled in it. This club helped him realize he loved programming, too. Recently, he got a letter from his dream collage, and they accepted him with a scholarship! If he never joined, he might not have been accepted or not gotten a scholarship to that collage. If teenagers don't sign up for clubs, they will miss out on amazing chances.
