'Experiences that I think that helped the person I am today is the programs that I did through in the Boys and Girls Club like peer mediation and the fundraisers that we do like this,' Walker said. 'Now, I've learned how to be more open to trying new things because you can get into places like this and to just like, be more social with people.'
Walker said she's excited to represent Don Moyer at the regional conference in Chicago.
