Class Officer Accomplishment

I am running for sophomore class treasurer because I believe that we should have people in office that actually want to improve the school. I want to have a school where everyone feels like they belong, and have choices about what happens in their lives at school. What I have noticed while I have been in high school is that kids walk the halls everyday hating it not because of the work, but because they feel like their lives are being ran for them and that they have no control over them. They want to give their opinions and they should have that right. Does that mean that every idea is going to be great. No, but kids will feel they got the chance to speak their minds. This is an important time in our lives. We are growing up and on some things we should have a say. I want to make sure they do have that opportunity.

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others” according to Bill Gates, while John Maxwell tells people that “Leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less.” Neither of them completely capture leadership, but at the same time, neither of them are wrong. To be a leader, one must empower and influence those they lead in order to get the results they want. Neither one mentions that a leader must be confident in themselves and show others that they are confident with the decisions they make for themselves and others. As president of the Italian National Honor Society at my school, it is my job to promote excellence in the course, as well as in the community. Since our society values giving back to the community, we put an emphasis on community service. Many of the other students in the society worried about completing their hours. I showed them that they did not need to worry about getting their service hours by completing all of my required hours for both National and Italian Honor Societies before the end of November.

It’s my senior year, the last year I get to be a (quote on quote) “kid”. I want to be able to leave Mendocino High School with my signature mark and I want to be able to say that I create something advantageous for the school. And I feel like moving a tier higher--attempting to become the president of the overall student body will position me to fulfil, I believe, my obligations to the school. Nevertheless, that status mandates assiduous ethics, and to mention the ability to cooperate with the entire student body to make the school a better place. When it comes to diligent ethics, I tend to do well. I always attempt to place myself and or team in an exultant situation. Although I feel confident about my efforts leading the Junior class this year, I am not sure how well I will cope with a larger scale lead role. I am hoping that Boy’s State will provide me with the experience and knowledge to be successful in my pursuit. Boy’s State is the quintessential program for me to acquire realistic government dexterities and to also evolve and perfect my social attributes. Boy’s State will allow me to experience, a tremendously broad multifarious group of students with essentially similar goals like myself in a mock-government. I cannot picture any other ideal opportunity like this! Not only will the program itself embed important skills into me, but to have a chance to learn from other students, to view how they perceive situations, and pick up his or her tactics, would be I think, one of the most valuable teachings that the program can produce. This will construct a fitter me that is well accustomed to work with other motivated students to achieve significance. Ultimately making the entire student body better citizens so we can effectively comprehend and support our school’s desires. And to return from the program with new visions and a varied arsenal of skills, will surely better adapt me for the great

However, during my first two years in high school, I realized that there was an aspect of my academic experience that needed attention. As a member of Class Council, I was disappointed by the lack of diversity in the attendance of the meetings. Each week, a dozen or so of the same students arrived and made decisions that affected the entire student body. If there was one thing I learned during my high school career, it was that diversity is necessary for success. Eager to implement change, I decided that the spring election at the end of my sophomore year was a great

I am extremely honored to be among the students nominated for National Honors Society. Being nominated for such a prestigious organization shows me my dedication to family, academics, and athletics have made me stand out among my peers. Throughout my life, I have always strived to have a high moral character. In academics, I have achieved a high grade point average with grades that are all A’s. In athletics, I have lettered in Varsity sports since I was a freshman. Currently, I am Junior Class President. As Junior Class President, I have the responsibility of representing the Junior Class as well planning the Havana High School prom. I believe representing the Junior Classes interests is a vital part of being class president. The planning and coordination of the high school prom can be quite stressful at times, but I have managed to keep a level head and have demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities.

For instance, I have been an altar server at my local church, St. Mary of the Assumption Church, for five years. As an altar server, I assist the priest during mass every Sunday. Furthermore, I regularly do community service in my neighborhood. For example, I’ve renovated houses for the poor, cleaned storm drains, and encouraged recycling in attempts to serve my community. Ergo, through all of my hard labor, I’ve accumulated over 108 hours of community service. These hours of community service are a testament to the truth and service I give to my community. Once I am accepted into this institution, I will bring the same enthusiasm for truth and service to Howard

Junior Class President Kathryn Ramjattan says that officers spend a lot of time planning after school and doing many other things, although conversely, it does not get too hectic until the major events come up. She loves working with her officers, leading and organizing events, and hanging out with the Junior Class Advisor, Mr. Carpio. This is her first year as president, but not her first year as an officer. Last year, Ramjattan was the vice president of the sophomore class. Ramjattan has learned that it is important to listen to what everyone has to say,and getting students involved is no simple task. Notable obstacles include disagreements in the student government and getting student participation.

Last year, I was elected by my peers to be on the Graduation Committee, where I am the treasurer. My respobailbites include dealing with our finances. Outside of my duties as treasurer, I am involved in all the planning and execution of senior dances and fundraising events. In the end of February, we held our Grad Fashion show and I was also in charge of creating short videos that were played during the show and the filming of the entire show. Furthermore, last year, I was part of my school’s debate club. The wide variety of opinions made the club even more interesting for me. Through lunch debating sessions, I was able to enhance my ability to assess situations and respond

I’m Christianna and would love to represent you all as a class officer for the 2017-2018 school year! Some of you may be wondering who I am and why you should vote for me to represent you? So, in this speech (which I will keep brief) I’ll introduce myself and explain why I am interested in being a class officer.

The Sidney A. Ribeau President’s Leadership Academy is something that helps change students’ lives so that they may change others. They value integrity, service, credibility, and learning. It strives to create student leaders that can change the world. I believe I am destined to be one of those people. I know, everyone says they want to change the world. Everyone wants to be the hero. But most people don’t want to work for it. They want a Noble Peace Prize dropped into their hands, no work required. I believe that you have to work for what you want. And I will. I will strive to embody the values the PLA has, each and every day. I have always lived my life for others. I will put others first, and continue to volunteer throughout the community. I will genuine, true, and honest. I will be a credible leader, someone who people can trust and learn from. And, I will continue to learn. One can never learn everything there is to learn about life, but I can try. I will learn how to lead so that I can make a difference in children’s

Ever since the First Grade at Big Country Elementary, I had a love for leadership. I loved the joy that came with being the representative for my friends and using my mouth to say the words everyone was thinking and wanting. Once they announced we were going to have Class Officers, my little seven year old heart filled with rainbows, and I worked extremely hard on my speech. I won the election because I kept a realistic promise to my class: Rice Krispy Treats for everyone if they voted for me. The following day there were thousands of the blue foil wrappings all over the floor, but my class was overfilled with joy because of how I kept my promise and didn’t let them down. So,many years after being a Class President, I still have that same drive and passion to resemble my fellow classmates.

I believe joining the Inter-Club Council at Ohlone College provided great insight to me on how the student government body works. As a member of the council, I am responsible to voice issues on club activities such as approving club budget and also discussing meeting agenda. Participating in the council is also a stepping stone for me to become more confident in my leadership. I consider joining the council as a great investment for me too in terms of making ties with people with great personalities that contributes to their respective club’s success.

I would like to declare my intention to run for the position of Academic VP. Over the course of the past 8 months I have had the opportunity to talk with many of you. Through these interactions, I have tried to gain a better understanding of what we, as a class, think the academic direction should be taken in. This is an important topic that I think should be at the forefront of all of class council, not only the Academic VP. The Academic VP is responsible for working directly with the faculty to reinforce the needs and wants of the class. Being an advocate for the students means fighting to make sure that each student has a fair chance at success. A big part this role is the relaying of question challenges made by the class to keep exams and quizzes fair for all students. This is an extremely important role that I would not take lightly, should you choose me to be your academic VP.

For the past few years I've been in this school I have aspired to do one thing, and one thing only, becoming a class officer. The reason why I've waited until this year is simple, I was never brave enough, or in other words I wasn't ready. However, this past year I've noticed qualities of mine that I have never really noticed before; I’m organized and loud enough to handle our class. Yet organization and tone of voice is not enough, since I am able to promise you this: I want to work for you and for my class, there’s no reason behind it and no reason beyond it.
