Student Council

My junior year of high school I had decided that I would get more involved in school activities. I had been a member of both HOSA, a medical club that focuses on competitions and INTERACT, a club that embraces different cultures and people as well as focusing on helping out the community. I became deeply invested and passionate in both of these clubs. I decided I no longer wanted to be just a member. I wanted to have a say in the decision process and events for the following year so I ran for officer elections in both.

Yes, I have been on student council for a year. I was selected by the Student Council Executive Board my freshman year. I was involved with student council by helping create decorations for homecoming, as well as attending and cleaning up after it. I was also apart of the committee that created the games for Boo Bash and I helped work Boo Bash. Another dance I helped set up for was Vice Versa and I attended it. I regularly attended the student council meetings.

This weekend, Exeter High School 's Youth and Government Club participated in the YMCA 's annual mock legislature. Exeter 's delegation performed exceptionally well this weekend, adding substantive insight to bill debating, and taking home several awards. Senior Eric Joy won the best lobbyist award and Senior Shereen Elaidi won a bill writing award.

Last summer, I attended a summer leadership and citizenship program in Sacramento, California. Fitting with the Boys State Camp's emphasis on civic service, each delegate was given the opportunity to run for a political position. It's selection process was highly competitive and to be elected to one of the highest positions puts you among the top leaders in the state. While this meant that I would have to push myself out of my comfort zone, I was not going to waste my chance to shine at Boys State, so I set up to be appointed as Fire Chief. The following morning, my heart pounded as I walked into the hall where speeches were to be made. When the moderators finally called my name, I closed my eyes and blocked the whispers in my head, whispers

In my senior year of high school I took AP Government and we decided to participate in a program called We The People, a constitutional debate competition. Once we reached the national level of the competition I was placed in a group that was less than motivated to win. It was quite difficult because as the group leader I had to make sure everything was done correctly and in the beginning I was forced to do everything on my own. Thankfully after time I was able to motivate my group members and push us to perform fairly well in the competition. I learned a lot of thing from this experience; I learned that I was capable of more than I had originally thought and that I was extremely good at what I did. I also learned that with the right motivation

Four students voted in favor of changing the fundamental structure of student government at Houston Community College. The motion passed.

From planning the first homecoming events for the class of 2019 to organizing the infamous Freshman Lock-Out, I have been a valuable asset to the success of many class events this year. From the moment I was elected as your class secretary, I was ecstatic that I would get to work with my fellow council members in order to provide my peers the best freshman year possible. By organizing our very first bake sale (and raising $202.72!!) to sorting through more than 250 student’s forms (so that everyone could attend Lock-Out), I have dedicated the majority of my free-time to ensure activities were prepared to the best of my ability. Several activities throughout the year such as our Winter Spirit Week, the winter spirit pack, and Freshman Lock-Out

During the summer after my junior year, I attended the Michigan American Legion Auxiliary Girls State program at Michigan State University, which is a program aimed at helping young ladies become better citizens. I had to once more leap out of my comfort zone to attend this program, but I had no idea what was in store for me once I got there. During the short week I attended Girls State, I discovered who I was and who I could be. My newly made friends encouraged and pushed me to aim higher and try harder. They supported me while I swallowed my nerves before giving many speeches to over 300 girls. The girls there taught me to fight through my fears and go for things, even when failure ensued. I lost elections, stumbled in speeches, and did not make positions I hoped to, but still they wanted me to keep going. I discovered that failure was okay, and my friends still supported me and encouraged me to keep going after failure. I learned that, by taking that leap, I could accomplish things I had only ever imagined

Description: The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was formed in 1959 after they decided to branch off of the Student League for Industrial Democracy, which was the youth branch of the Socialist League for Industrial Democracy. The SDS was a radical group made up of teens and young adults that sought to overthrow America’s democratic society and remake it in a Marxist image. Many of the SDS’ key members where known as “red diaper babies” as their parents were often members of the Communist parties of the 1930’s. The Students for a Democratic Society’s founding can be accredited to a man named Aryeh Neier in 1959; who would later become the National Executive Director of the ACLU and go on to build two other influential organizations, the Human Rights Watch and the Open Society Institute. SDS held its first meeting in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1960 where it announced its first President, Alan Haber. Haber was an editor for the student newspaper at the University of Michigan and was known as “Ann Arbor’s resident radical”. From their first meeting, the SDS decided that they wanted to set the tone and introduce an itinerary for their generation as they grew to influence the political world. The SDS denounced bigotry, materialism, personal alienation, and industrialization in America and also widely protested American abundance, the threat of nuclear war, military spending, and the Cold War. They publicly addressed this in 1962 by creating what historian Michael Kazin

During the third month of school, I joined the sixth grade student council. I grew tired of drawing with messy charcoal in art club and wanted to be part of a change, not just an organized after school activity, as lovely as it once had been. Instead of generating the initial ideas for the school dance and coordinating the days of spirit week, I found myself working behind the scenes, developing upon ideas already thought

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.

Are you going to Rogers middle school next year? Do you like setting stuff up or helping around the school? If so join the student council!!!!!!!!! Read all about us in this pamphlet. What you’ll be doing. You’ll be helping with fundraisers. Like stuff the bus. And you’ll also be selling candy at tournaments like the annual dodgeball tournament. You’ll also sell candy on 6th grade privilege day and most of the time whatever isn’t gone you get. We spread word about upcoming events so when others don’t know about something we’ll know before they do. There as I mentioned are events that go on that we help in setting up, selling, and making. Events that we help with.As I mentioned there are events that we help with. We help with at least five

In 2015-2016, I was elected by peers as treasurer-elect of the Pre-medical Society. Our primary goal was to provide guidance for students who aspire to apply to health professional schools. As treasurer-elect I establish a semesterly budget, which funds numerous workshops and events; additional I also communicated with speakers for various events. As of May 2016, I was elected as the society President. My duties throughout the summer are to plan for the upcoming year's events and begin delegating specific committee tasks to the team of executive

During the 2016 presdiential election i was a volunteer for the San Fernando Democrtic party. this allowed me to experience the true meaning of working in a team as i had never worked in a team for something as important as the election. while volunteering i had to phone bank where i made phone calls encopiraging people to vote. This allowed me to realize the amount of work needed in order to successfully run a campaign. I had never had the opportunity to work in team before so this allowed me to become exposed to a team that benefitted a greater cause. I realized the fact that someone who worked in a team could accomplish much greater tasks as a group. The impact I made to the democratic election was making people aware of their voting centers,

All the student government runners met up during lunch for the results of the elections. I was sweating bullets. Two of my friends were both running for a certain role, so I sat down beside them. As the roles were being announced, first President, next Vice President, I held my breath in my seat while I waited for my name to be called,. Suddenly the words came out, "Our new student body secretary is Issel Solano." The nerves quickly left my body and were turned into excitement. I did it! Now to put my new power on the E-Board for beneficial
