Personal View: Dobie’s I Am Second club
I am Second sign in the hallway invites students to join.

The goal of the I Am Second club is very simple.
”We want to bring Jesus into the schools and make His name famous. We also want students to be able to tell their stories,” said Sonny Black, founder of the I Am Second club at Dobie Jr. High.
I Am Second is a club where you learn how to “Live second” to God. It is also a place where we encourage students to share the story of how they met God and how they have changed since they met him, they call that a “second story” They meet every Thursday in room D106, Mrs. Behnsch’s room, after school from 3:35 to 4:15.
The club helps students grow closer to God. We try to help to connect students and teachers by showing them that they have something in common. The club really wants to help change the school for the better. The club is at other schools as well including Steele High School, Clemens High School, and Randolph High School.
The student leaders of the Dobie I Am Second group are MJ Reyes, Emily Rattmond, and me. We are always looking for more people to who are interested in leading and starting another group. To be a leader of a group you must be a Christian that has invited God into your life. If you are interested in starting your own group talk to one of the leaders mentioned.
“Sure, I would go because I’m a Christian and it seems cool,” says Jaida Osborne.
But not all students are comfortable sharing their testimony. Osborne also says that she wouldn’t be comfortable sharing her “second story” with the rest of the club.
And that’s OK. It is not required to share your testimony.
My name is Ashley Sustayta. I am in the 8th grade. My favorite subjects are science and band. I like journalism class because I get to learn about what's...
I’m not into the Jesus thing but it is nice to see kids my age sharing their love about god and Jesus.
awesome article
Sounds awesome! Without this article, I would have never known what the club was about. I just see the poster every once in a while when I was paying attention. Makes me want to join! It’s nice that the school is taking advantage of our rights of religious freedom.
Also, even though the article is short, it is very thorough, good work! I don’t have any questions about the club or the article, thanks to you answering everything. You are a good writer, even though of course there is always room for improvement! (Though I didn’t see anything wrong with this article.) You have done well with your punctuation, etc. Great work, I give this article a thumbs up!
i think this is a very well typed and thought out article and its grammer is put in such a way that doesnt make it boring great work!!
I love how this club just comes together as a family.
i love this article so true i would love to come but my games are on those days
i hope you all have fun i love Mr. Sonny he is like a second father to me!
Ashley did a really good job writing this article
I really like this article it is descriptive and it could really help someone out!
This is very good and gives lots of detail and it sound interesting.
I love this article. Great job!
I really like your article and I like the idea of the club.
I really like your story it’s well organized and i’m thinking of joining also I had no idea that we had a club for that. I’m a christian and I don’t really like some of the things that go on at school like cussing or harassment and I think this is a perfect opportunity for all christian kids to get away from all of that and meet other christian kids and spend more time with God. Thank you for sharing this story and for doing it. You did amazing.
Awesome article Ashley!!!
Nice job, Ashley! Thanks for sharing the information with the campus.
