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. …show more content…
Last year when I was a freshman, I was the treasurer of Panther Nation. Now I am in my second year of being on The Stone Memorial Dance Team. I have learned a lot from being on the team like what it means to be a team and to work together. I have learned that you sometimes have to take sacrifices for the greater good even if it is not exactly what you may want. I have also gained many leadership skills from being on the team, and was recently named the 2015-2016 captain. I believe all these things give me an advantage against my fellow
In Scholastic Scrimmage, I found a community of people who were as curious to learn new things as I was and as competitive (in a good way) as I was, and still am. I became captain of the Varsity Scholastic Scrimmage team in my junior year because of my dedication to the club. As captain, I established a plan in which players would be on the same teams in practices and competitions to grow as teams rather than free radicals with no direction or commitment, which was one of the major problems of the club in the past. The impact was immediate and it established chemistry between players and their teams. Many of my friends have expressed new dedication to their teams and Scholastic Scrimmage and I attribute this change to the team's first EPC
Ottawa-Glandorf athletics taught me more than I ever thought I would have learned. Being apart of Titan sports comes with a stigma: a stigma to be great, to work hard, and to carry good sportsmanship. I participated in Ottawa-Glandorf sports so I could be apart of a team, enhance leadership skills, and build relationships with peers. My freshman year I decided to join the girls soccer team. I was a little hesitant as I was the only Glandorf girl on the team, but after the first week of practice, I met some of my best friends I have today. Although I didn’t get much playing time, I always tried my hardest, gave it my all, and was a leader on and off the field.
My freshman year, I qualified for state in the shuttle hurdle relay. The girls on my relay team were a huge help to me, by guiding me along with new experiences. We ended up making it to finals and placing seventh in the state. My teammates pushed me in practice, and I wouldn’t have made it as far as I did without them by my side. I was always told that my hard work will pay off, and it for sure did. Going to state track taught me that anything is possible if you work for it. As I grow older, I’m sure to be a great role model for the underclassmen by giving them the motivation that they can do anything if they set their mind to it. I didn’t only help myself by doing this, but I helped the entire team. Throughout every sport, I try to be a positive influence towards my team because we need one another to improve and make a great impression by representing Forest City High
From freshman to senior year, I spend thousands of hours perfecting my craft and in return made longtime friends. As captain of the color guard my junior and senior year, I was able to guide others, give them confidence, and teach them a new skill set. As captain, I enjoyed helping those less experienced than I and ensured they had a positive environment. Additionally, my marching band and I faithfully attended nearby parades to liven spirits and to represent our area. The biggest events were football games, where the marching band and I entertained the crowd during halftime, promoting our high school and helping others enjoy the
About three weeks into marching season, a spot opened up. Of course, I had to audition for the spot with the other alternates, but I was successful in winning a marching spot at that time and have never lost it. I also worked hard on becoming a better musician. I drastically increased my practice time and was fortunate enough to be able to hire a private tutor to improve my musical abilities. Now in my senior year I am in the top band and I am on the varsity marching squad. I have even obtained a leadership role in the band as a rank leader. As a rank leader I am a mentor and coach for several other students in the marching band. I really feel like I am providing these student the same thing that Zack Santos provided for me. It makes me feel good that I am assisting other kids in achieving their
I am in Scholastic Scrimmage, which has been one of the most rewarding clubs I have been a part of and I have been captain of Varsity Scholastic Scrimmage during 11th and 12th grades. This year (12th grade) is the first year the team is going to EPC playoffs in over four years.
When my fellow teammates elected me as the team captain last spring, I felt honored and determined. We ended our past season with winning the State Championship, and I wanted to be the first team in Sartell Sabre Dance Team history to win a consecutive State Championship title. As a captain, I expected I would need to help the team reach
Last year, I was a part of the freshman cheerleading team at Eureka High School. I had been cheerleading since elementary school, so I was overjoyed to be accepted onto the high school team. Being a cheerleader taught me a variety of lessons that will remain valuable throughout my life. The most meaningful aspect of cheerleading is leadership, and being apart of the team allowed me to expand my skills as a leader. When I first joined the squad, I was timid and often allowed others lead the way.
High school has never been the worst years of my life. It has been difficult, but I had never felt like it was truly wonderful or meaningful until this year. This past summer, I joined the marching band, and since then my life has changed drastically. Marching band has increased the quality of my high school life, given me the opportunity to impact others, and taught me more about myself than I knew before. Being in marching band, I have made an abundant amount of friendships that never before have I experienced.
Good morning class of 2019. I am Tori Cichelero, and I am running for Freshman Class President. As a president, my job would be to stabilize each and every single one of us, because we are new to the community of Ursuline Academy. I will make sure we are all involved, so we all get to be connected into the school. In order to be involved, we all have to take risk and try new things. Trying new things can be scary, but it can be so much better when you have a leader to guide you. My guidance can make us freshman the best possible class by using our intelligence, hard-work, responsibility, and kindness. When I think of Ursuline Academy, I think of how great our class is. Each classmate in front of me right now means so much to me. Your grades,
Being involved in something that has nothing to do with academic work is definitely something that I will always be proud of. In the beginning of my high school career, I joined the drill team. Joining the drill team was something that was hard for me. It taught me to become dedicated, motivated, and committed. Hope Squad is also something I’m apart of.
Although I can run three miles pretty fast, and I wanted to race the other fast people on my team, I decided to stick with the “slow group” and help them get motivated instead. I hated having to walk half the way, but it was helpful for me to experience a leader. I had to practice a lot of patience. I was also elected team co-captain, which means I have a lot of organizational responsibilities as well. I feel like Abbey, our coach, really respects me as a leader in the group. I am so thankful for the chance to lead my peers somewhere other than at school. Being in a different environment leading different people presents a whole new set of challenges and benefits.
Throughout the past year, the team had helped me through each and every situation that I encountered during my freshman year. I experienced so many great things with all of them. Just some performances included the Touch of Dutch Parade, a Tarzan play, all the football games, and even the
The management of cash is essential to the survival of any organization. Managing an organization’s financial operation requires knowledge of the economy and ways to maximize revenue. For any organization to operate on a daily basis adequate cash flow is required. Without cash management the organization will be unable to function because there is no cash readily available in case of inconsistencies in the market. Cash is also needed to keep the cycle of the company’s operations going.
RITTMAN DISTRICT — Board member Dave Plahuta knows a thing or two about school district financials, having retired as a school treasurer, and he likes what he sees in Rittman.
