My name is Alaina I enjoy ONA because it helped me get out of my comfort zone. I met new people coming here. It was a no judgement zone and it taught me to be confident in myself and to accomplish new goals. I like attending social events. My favorites are movie nights, game nights, and the vision board making night. I also attend class sessions. It is a relaxing and clam space where I can be open minded to new things.
