“Jeffrey! Get over here now!” Screaming seemed relatively new to Brianna Stafford. In middle school, the introvert would never really talk to anyone, no matter the topic. However, in high school, she blossomed and began volunteering at events in her academic and neighborhood community. She loved math, and had aspirations for a career as a controller, accountant, bank teller, cashier, or just about any job in finance. This past fall, she decided to run for the student body treasurer to achieve that goal. In the teacher’s lounge a staff member designated for election preparation, she spent Friday afternoon adding the finishing touches to her campaign posters on Photoshop on a Mac computer. While taking a break from the stressful work, she …show more content…
“I’m not taking her side!” Jeffrey screamed. “Don’t you yell at me! I’m not the one who stole from the school and was never investigated because it would ruin my reputation! There is so much proof that Kayla 1) stole from the principal, 2) lied about it, and 3) asked her parents to cover up for her! You think that won’t look bad for her?” “Look, I’m just saying-” “You need to calm down,” Brianna demanded. “Now.” “You know what?” Jeffrey raised his hands. “I don’t need this.” He grabbed his notebook, put on his jacket, and stormed out of the lounge as he yelled, “I quit!” “Fine!” Brianna answered. She tried her best not to slam the door as her anger reached boiling point. She sat at the foot of the door and began sobbing. She thought about how hard it would be to run for treasurer without backup and even considered dropping out of the race altogether. After all, for three weeks, Jeffrey had assisted her through the entire process. What would she do without him? But then she remembered when she was 12 years old and ran a kids’ marathon in Golden Gate Park. She twisted her ankle and thought about quitting the race. But thank goodness she had her mom as her partner. Her mom told her, “Don’t give up! I didn’t give up when your father went to prison.” Brianna’s father, who was never really around in
For those you who do not know me, I am Carissa Dorval and I am running for the position of Executive Board Treasurer. There are many reasons why I would make a great addition to the Student Council team. Over the past three years I have held many roles that needed me to posses leadership skills such as, Sophomore Class Treasurer, and being a member of Spirit Committee.

Jeanne Becker has been the secretary at Saint Mary’s Central High School for as long as anyone can remember. She is the backbone of our entire school system. By keeping us all on track with the announcements, our messages in the office, and tardy slips, Jeanne is the crucial piece in maintaining the standard of excellence that St. Mary’s is known for. In other words, our school could not function properly without Jeanne. However, many students do not fully understand nor appreciate all that Jeanne does for those who attend St. Mary’s High School. I spoke with Jeanne to get her take on what she does for the school and why she enjoys it so much. During this interview she stated, “being the secretary for our school is a job that involves a lot
She helped me out on how to properly breathe and pace myself and today was the big day. My first race on our home course. The girls and I quickly got on the start line: a white, painted line on the grass. Then an old man slowly approached us, one step at a time. He wore dark pants with a navy blue flannel shirt that was two size to big along with an old raggedy blue Cubs hat. Each step building more and more tension in the air. Once in front of us, the old man raised his arm pointing a gun towards the sky. He stared directly at us, watching for anyone who would try and get an early start. In that moment time slowed down; as if in some time warp everything became slow. The wind stopped my breathing slowed down, no longer could I move and then “Boom.” It was as if I was in the famous battle of Gettysburg. The first shot had gone off and the whole stampede of boys and girls began running toward the target.

“Are you telling me how to do my job, Douglas?” Behind me I could hear the hum of the bull pen. From the corner of my eye I saw the flurry of activity, everyone was busy putting finishing touches on stories for tomorrow’s edition. I shifted again and started to reply. With a stern look Mr. Wright cut me off, “Don’t even think about it, Douglas. Just get on it. He’s expecting you at three o’clock.” I nodded and made a hasty retreat out of the office, latching the door firmly but softly so as not to rattle the glass.
Being a honor council member there are three important traits to have. The first being confidentially, confidentially is very important for a member of the council. Any one who gets called into the honor conceal already feels bad that they're there and does not talk about it with their friends probably but if a member goes out and tells another about the hearing word might spread and the student might feel bad worse. If a honor council member does not have honor then their is problem. The whole point of the honor council is to make sure the school is a better place. If a member does not care if he gets in trouble he will not care if someone else get in trouble. An important quality for a honor council member is to have sensitivity. A honor council member that does not care about people feeling is bad if it someone first time ever doing something wrong if a member can't tell the difference from a first time offender and some one who gets in trouble often they could show no remorse and make people feel worse for what they did.
I am always in the search for opportunities that can bring me closer to my goal to become a dentist and this apprenticeship program is a great opportunity. I want to shadow the treasurer because I want to learn a side that I have no experience in. I believe the best way to learn something is to confront it and challenge yourself to do the best rather than to avoid it. Although I have no experience as a treasurer I am willing to show that I can learn fast and dedicate the right amount of time for this position. The second position that I am interested in shadowing is the external vice president. I have experience in this position mainly from my high school involvements and I believe I can apply and reinforce my skills in this position. Besides
If someone asked me ten years ago why my mother was my hero, I wouldn't have been able to give them a proper response. As I grew older, and as my jolly world made of gum drops and sunshine were fading away, I realized how much my mother had put up with. Dealing with horrid family- crushing problems as a child was never easy for me and I can only imagine what it did to my mother. I watched my mother somehow withstand it every single moment. All I had to ask, was why? Why had she tortured herself by staying with a
A person is considered homeless when they do not have a permanent place to live. Homelessness is becoming more common every day. I had the rare opportunity to see and interact with the people facing the challenge of homelessness at the Homeless Connection Event. This paper will discuss my perceptions of the homeless before the event, a few interesting facts, and my thoughts after the event. The paper will also discuss my impressions of the homeless after the event and my opinion of the interprofessional relationship between students who participated in the event.
Throughout my life I always thought the little things that we do to help people in our community are the things that made the biggest difference. I learned in church one day on a Sunday about how to improve ourselves to get closer to God. The pastor said that we are so busy with our daily activities that sometimes we get distracted on things that matter the most. Sometimes even though we might be busy, we should just take a brief moment to help others in need. That is why I find community service important because you are not just building our career we are also building our character as a leader and as a citizen.
Child vaccinations have been a pressing issue since we constructed the first vaccine. The importance of vaccination can vary, depending on someones outlook on the issue. Schools have been rejecting or not admitting children who have not been vaccinated. Also, there are many health risks people have if they have not been vaccinated.
The day finally came when it was May the fun run fundraiser. It was hot mix with windy, I could still picture it in my head. I didn 't want to run at all, but I couldn’t back out. We were raising money for new computers, and we sure needed it. There was only twenty-five of us running that day. I sure didn 't know if I was going to make it to the end. The gun goes off, and dust storms up as we started running. Many of the fourth graders start dropping like flies after the second lap as we go.
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.
