When I started with Latinitas I was assigned to both an Elementary and Middle school club. Elementary was fairly like I expected it to be, chaotic but controlled with the help of the other club leader. The girls are all so different but little by little their unique enthusiasm has shown through and it's great to see them have a voice.The older girls in the middle school definitely have some stronger opinions about their extracurricular activities but I was glad to see that they're focusing…
