Becoming Student Council

The strongest example of my leadership and community involvement has been my service to my high school through Student Senate as the Student Body President. In this position I have been responsible for planning and coordinating events, running weekly morning meetings, giving speeches, communicating between my advisors and councilmen, and being an active leader in and out of the classroom. I’ve learned a lot about people while in this position, I have found a way to work with other people and their needs, as well as becoming a very effective communicator, and a great team player.

My mother always told me, ‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going.’ When times get rough it is important to not waste time sitting in self-pity, instead you need to take charge and change things for the better. I believe that being a good leader does not wait around just hoping, instead they make things happen. There are many elements that I believe make a good leader, but just being genuine and passionate towards a cause is what I believe is most important.

My community leadership has been based in and around my school. My leadership ranges from teaching a cosmetology course at my school to planning events. It has helped me manage my time, allow to learn how to research efficiently and has taught me how to better communicate with those around me. I have met new and exciting people and have been given opportunities i wouldn't have received had I not gone to the school i am at.

A good leader inspires people to better themselves. I feel I am a good candidate for the National Honor Society because I have leadership experiences in refereeing youth soccer games, volunteering in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and taking Links, which is a class that helps students with autism in their classes. While referring children's soccer games I had to pick and choose the calls that I had to make so the kids could learn the game but also have fun playing the game. Even though some kids didn't like it, I had to be a sense of authority to them to make sure none of them got hurt when playing soccer. When I go to visit my little brother, for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, I help him with his homework, and also make it fun

My school is a very small school with grades 6 through 12, under 400 students. This year, the Junior High decided not to have a student council, so High School stepped up and took charge of all things spirit. I have always liked helping in student council. I have been a member all of my high school career, but this year I decided to help take charge and put my best effort into making the whole school a more spirited place by becoming Student Council President.

My role as president of my high school’s National Honor Society also allowed to demonstrate my worth as a leader. I was in charge of the overall organization of the club, finding more volunteering opportunities

Being a good leader is done by making the correct choices and inspiring people to complete their tasks and work together as a team. In order to be a great leader you need to think outside the box and travel the road that is seldom or never traveled. A great leader will use their inspiration and determination to complete the tasks no matter what hurdles or problems they

To be an excellent leader and citizen, in my opinion, you need to display passion, drive and encouragement. That is exactly what I tried to achieve while I was a trainer at Culver’s, volunteering at Red Cross Blood Drives and with the Clover Kids. I also tried to display my passion to be a leader and a good citizen when I would bring my race car to Sunshine Learning Center Daycare in Menomonie, WI for race car day.

What does it mean to be in the student council? It means to be able to be a voice for the students, to be able to pull off organizations for the school, and be socially aware in the school. Here are a few examples I am addressing in this paper.

I attended a hearing on your behalf in the above-referenced matter before Judge Whispell in the permanency part in New Windsor, New York on 06/29/17. The claimant was present and was represented by attorney Mark Simoni who was appearing of counsel to the claimant’s attorney of record, Bonacic & McMahon.

To be a good leader, you have to be willing to help your teammates succeed which is why I tutor during my free periods at school. Everyone has the capability to succeed; some need more help than others. I tutor two girls during my free period every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. It amazes me at how much time and effort that they are putting in to get better grades not because they were told to but because they want to do better themselves. They took the initiative to ask for help when they needed it. Even though I wasn’t the best at biology, I am trying my best to help them improve and with time they have improved. That’s what being a good leader is about. Giving time, effort and support to one another so that everyone can move on together.

My success as vice president of the drama club is what encouraged me to run for president of the senior class. This was my first real insight to student council, an activity which I really enjoy. As a student council officer, I have the opportunity to plan school spirit events

I am currently a senior in high school and about to begin my college career, and while applying for different universities and scholarships, a question that I often come across is to describe my most significant extracurricular activity, and my answer is all the same: student congress. That is why I want to thank you. At a young age, you allowed me the opportunity to learn how to be a leader and also how to create positive change in my school. Many are led to believe that third, fourth, and fifth graders are not old enough to make any notable impact on a school or a community, but you motivated us to prove them wrong. I remember how our student council was able to participate in incredible activities such as raising money for the Leukemia and

I believe that to be a good leader doesn’t necessarily define as someone who sets a goal and directs people to achieve it, but as someone who may have to adapt to change based off their surroundings and situations. A leader should be someone who is able to guide with not only direction but also logic, understanding, and an open mind. Oskar Schindler proved with continued leadership that even the most dismal situations may be able to change your values and based off those values change your actions and the direction in which you choose to lead and how you influence.

I understand being a good or even great leader takes a great amount of hard work and dedication. No matter where I am or what I am doing, I push myself to the limit and do what needs to be done; sometimes even more. I strive to be the best in all I do. I want to become a good leader like my father. I want to be able to handle even the most difficult situations in the most calm and confident manner.
