Personal Narrative: A Career As A Class President

It all started from the end of my middle school to the beginning of high school. There I was, being a rebellious child. I would always come to school late which later then turned into a bad habit of mine. It progressed from being late to school to just not going to school at all. During those years where I was not taking my education serious and just acting out, I was struggling with how I was setting priorities for myself.

Being president of the Sophomore Class would be a wonderful opportunity to exercise my strengths and abilities. I think, with my strengths, I would be a great candidate for Class President. I am very interactive and open to new ideas of my classmates, especially when it can better our grade and our future as students. I show outstanding leadership that encourages others to further engage in their positions and responsibilities. To me, I think that it’s important to function as a unit rather than having unbalanced strengths. I would encourage others to be their own leader and make sure they fully indulge in their positions. I accept all responsibilities that come with the position including attendance to the meetings and to school, having good

When I started Chaffey College I did not had a college major in mind. My educational plan was set up to take general education for the first two semesters. It took me a month to realize I wanted to be a Dental Assistant. There was a waiting list for the program, but, fortunately I could obtain all the documents need it to be qualified. Now, my education plan is set up to graduate from Chaffey College by 2018. I will end up with an Associate Degree as a Register Dental Assistant. My education plan was set up to graduate in less than 3 years with the best experience and knowledge I could get. Being in college had made me increase my education goal, not only will I get a career in the Dental field but I will continue to become a mathematics teacher

Have you ever felt like you wanted to achieve something so bad but just don’t have enough energy or motivation to do it? Like eating healthy, running a marathon, become president of the United States. I felt the same but mine was losing weight. All through my childhood and adolescence I have been a heavy kid. I was involved in many recreational activities and sports such as baseball, soccer, and basketball. With all this exercise I felt like I would be able to lose this weight but I just kept gaining more weight. Later during my heavy weight period I started developing sad thoughts and for the most part anxiety. I felt like no one liked me and that no one knew who I was.

When signing up for classes I hadn’t put much thought into my personal goals for this class, let alone any of my classes and being a liberal arts student my main purpose is to find a subject that clicks, something that challenges me, not only as a student but as a person as well. That’s what I want this class to do for me. I’m not looking for an easy grade, I want a class that forces me to think. All throughout middle school and high school history has been somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine. And I say guilty pleasure because so many people have discouraged me from choosing the subject as a major in college. The past has always interested me far more than the future. I want to know our origins before I learn about what may possibly be in

During my junior year of high school, I decided to run for senior class president for the 2016-2017 school year. After the election process (interviews, speeches, and voting), I was elected for this position. I have been apart of student council since I was in seventh grade and I have always been extremely passionate about it. Student Council to me means serving others in your school and community and I can say that I thoroughly enjoy doing that. I wanted to be senior class president because I knew I had the drive, ambition, and work ethic it would take to get things done. As president, I have to make major decisions that have to do with graduation and the senior class as a whole. I wanted to lead and represent the class of 2017 at Durant High

There was a major shift in my career in 2002 from United States Navy to the United States Federal Government. I have realized that working for the Federal Government, although has its advantages, also has its drawbacks. The benefits are great, and once you have passed your probationary period it is almost impossible to get fired. The teamwork that I had grown to love in the Navy took a backseat to workplace politics in the Federal Government.

It was May 25, 2018 at 7:47 in a steaming hot gymnasium when the name Anthony Joseph Sansalone was getting called from the loud speaker, the sixth to last person to receive their diploma I begun shaking the hands of all the board members and everything that I had known from the last 13 years at the same school was over and a new chapter of my life was stating to begin. A few seconds after receiving my diploma the Class President guided us to changing of our tassels from right to left then commencement was over and I was walking out with my future roommate at BGSU, Vincent Zhang, we looked at each other knowing that our high school career was descending and our college careers were lifting off together. High school was tuff for me due to the fact that I have know what I wanted to do since I was a freshman, I want to become an animator and work for an Academy Award winning company such as

As a junior in Early College I would more or less consider this my second year, as I have been taking college classes for three years now. However, I can still identify an issue I am facing with my courses. As I am trying to graduate a five year program in only four years, I have taken on a lot of responsibility as a 16 year old. I am currently taking 6 courses this semester, and I will have to take five courses every other semester to graduate on time. As I thought this would be a busy course load for me, I ended up quitting my job because they could not comply with the hours I requested due to school. I completely regret this, as I now have to work at a job that I am not making much money at and I have even had to take on some side jobs just to be able to pay my insurance on time. Sometimes, people make decisions that they think will better them and make life easier, but they make these decisions without careful consideration and at least trying the circumstance before changing everything.

I hold my membership as a homeroom representative in my high school’s Student Government in especially high regard. What led me to value this organization and to join it was due to the fact that I wanted to become an involved member of my high school community. This goal would have proven difficult if I had not joined Student Government because I did not know a single student in my grade before enrolling in my high school. On another note, student government needs its members to help out at various functions—which aid in unifying the school—such as dances or weekly lunchtime events. Thus, I gladly offered my time to set up for the Back-to-School Dance at my high school this past August. Besides situating the sound equipment and selling soft

When I was a sophomore I decided that I was going to run for the two-year student body officer position, Assistant Secretary. I ran my campaign, and I fell short. I was devastated. I went home, and cried. I had stiff competition, but I thought for sure that I would get it. But what I finally focused on was what the SBO advisor told me after the winners were announced. She told me that I better run again next year because she believed I could do it. I clung tight to those words as the school year progressed and as I watched the newly elected SBO’s go about their duties. When the following April came, I again signed up to run for office. I had stiff competition, and I didn’t know if I was going to make it, again. I did make it. I won. I was the 2016-2017 Juab High School student body historian! I couldn’t have been more happy.

As a freshman, you seem to get treated as dirt. When an upperclassmen tells you to do something, you don’t hesitate, you do it. This was how my freshman year was anyway. I have played sports all throughout high school, and every year I have seen the same things happening over and over again. The senior and most upperclassmen expect the freshman to do as they say. After my freshman year, I thought I would do the same, make sure the freshmen felt the same pressure on them as my class did when we were that age. However, as my junior year and now senior year roll around, my perspective started to change. I noticed that more freshman didn’t respect the upperclassmen, they were just intimidated by the seniors. I decided then that I was going to lead

My involvement at Texas Tech University falls heavy in the Student Government Association. As a freshman, I served as president of the Freshman Council. During my time in Freshman Council, me and 30 other freshman raised over $1,000 to be awarded to student organizations. In spring of my freshman year, I was elected to serve as an At-Large Senator for 2016-2017. I was also appointed to serve as the chair of the Intergovernmental Committee. In these positions I was able to write recognition and appreciation of service legislation for Jodey Arrington, Randy Neugebauer, and TTUPD and LPD. Just recently, I was re-elected to serve as an At-Large Senator for 2017-2018. In this role, I will also serve as President Pro Temp of the Student Senate and

Leadership has always been a large part of my life, from being 8th-Grade Class Representative, Freshmen Class Officer, Sophomore Class President, and Key Club President, I was able to balance all of my extracurricular activities, take initiative in my position while learning and teaching new leadership skills to other students. In leadership, I was granted the opportunity to attend countless leadership conferences and see a variety of new motivational speakers along with learning numerous new skills from leadership camp. This year as Sophomore Class President, I was able to get more students involved in our class by holding a Sophomore Class competition which would help influence students in creating their own shirt design. After receiving

A life lesson that I have learned over the course of my high school years, is you need to choose wisely which crowd of people to hang around. I’ve learned that not everyone is your friend, even if they tell you they are. There are people out there who will claim to be your friend, and will stab you in the back when you least expect it.
