Why I Want To Be A Candidate

The former president Abraham Lincoln once stated “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” No one can defeat us unless we destroy our country from inside. I want to become a president of the United States of America because my goal is to help everyone in the nation. As a president, I wish to fulfill my goals by improving on healthcare policy’s, immigration policies, and economic growth.

During my high school career, I have participated in a large majority of the clubs available to me, and held officer positions in most of them as well. In both the National Honor Society and Medical Connections Clubs I am a member of two and four years respectively, and was elected treasurer of both for the 2017-2018 school year. National Honor Society has also given me many community service opportunities, including helping with the Night to Shine organization and a volunteering at a local nursing home.

Through this university I have been able to become involved with various student organizations, including CEPA and the PILOT program. CEPA stands for the Club de Español Para Amigos. This club provides opportunities for its members to practice their Spanish speaking skills, meet and collaborate with organizations that support the Hispanic community, and volunteer in areas that support Spanish speaking community. This club has allowed me to combine my love for Hispanic language and culture, and do philanthropic work. As a Spanish major, it has provided me with the opportunity to network and practice the skills that I have learned in the classroom. Another organization I am affiliated with is the Pilot program. This is a leadership program on campus. As a member of this club I attend a variety of workshops in order to receive credit as a certified leader and then a master leader. These workshops cover topics including diversity, skill building, self- improvement, and leadership programs. This organization has allowed me to grow as a leader, and become a more well-rounded

I am serious about being in one of our nation’s most respectable sorority within the National Pan-Hellenic Council. Alpha Kappa Alpha, Incorporated gives me the opportunity to

Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sorority, Incorporated purpose is to be of service to all mankind dealing with critical issues in communities domestically and internationally. What I have grown to understand an envision a woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated to be, I accredit largely to the ladies of the Gamma Theta chapter. This has the result of attending many of the chapter’s events during my time at Hampton thus far. One of my favorite events was a screening of a documentary Girls Rising. I learned to appreciate every opportunity to learn and gain knowledge because in some parts of the world girls are restricted from receiving an education. A

Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated have made everlasting effects on my life. Having mentors in this fraternity allowed me to see how every member feels responsible for improving the communities that they are from. They never hesitate to take the leadership roles that are needed to see change. I would like to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha because it would allow us to share a brotherhood with great men, it will allow me to make valuable connections with other positive men around the world, and it will help me become the best version of myself. My desire to become a member of this fraternity began my freshmen year after I attended the first informational meeting. At this meeting I was able to speak with members and also learn from them. They each have strong leadership characteristics that allow them to serve on executive boards across campus and they all are high achieving students at Cornell.

My interest in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, started a long time ago, in fact when my first interest was peaked I wasn’t even able to pursue my interest as I was still in high school. I was able to participate in several of the “groups” within Alpha Kappa Sorority Inc., such as the “Roses” and the “Pearls”.

National Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society alike have provided the best opportunities for personal growth for a few reasons. As members, we sacrifice our time for the betterment of others. It is rewarding to help those in need without seeking credit.​ National Honor Society allowed me to reach out to those very close and dear to me in the community, while National Technical Honor Society helped me reach out to communities outside of Dansville, that I would have never had the opportunity to help otherwise. Both chapters were very influential in developing maturity, accountability, and selflessness. Additionally, being the Treasurer of National Honor Society has given me the opportunity to take on a leadership role. Stepping

1) List any volunteer, extracurricular activities, or work experience in which you are or have been involved in the past two years.

In my college career, I have been an integral part of several student organizations including both Golden Key and Phi Beta Delta Honor Societies. I have spoken publicly to the Jekyll Island Historical Society, and at multiple SOURCE conferences. As a member of the Oak Grove Cemetery society in Brunswick, I have worked alongside historians and anthropologists to uncover lost history and to aid in the restoration efforts.

Some of my extracurricular involvements include interning with Junior Achievement of Delaware in their Marketing & Events department and working as the National Social Media Coordinator for my Fraternity Pi Alpha Phi Fraternity, Inc. My time spent managing the National Social Media accounts with Pi Alpha Phi Fraternity, Inc. produced noticeable personal growth in areas such as professionalism, time management, and the need for cultural awareness. These values were essential to not only my success but also our Fraternity’s visibility and reach on outlets such as the Presidential Blog on WordPress, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The time I have spent studying my culture has helped mold me into a worker that is willing to research and share information and stories to help fight for greater ethnic representation and visibility.

If I had the chance to speak to Mr. Donald Trump, the president himself, I would ask him so many questions. I have planned out what I would ask a president, or any famous figure for that matter, already. It might seem strange but I like planning for things I wouldn’t think would happen because you always got to expect the unexpected, right? The question I would ask him first is if he liked being the president. It might be a crazy question because being the president seems pretty cool, until you grow up, at least in my case, but you never know just because someone is president doesn’t mean they necessarily like the job. As a kid I always thought the president was pretty much a king and could do whatever they wanted to and rule the country, but that is not the case, I never looked deep into being a president and everything that comes with the job.

I am currently a member of the Psi Chi Honor Society, an international psychology honor society, and recently joined FIU’s chapter of the co-ed premedical fraternity, Phi Delta Epsilon. These organizations allow me to participate in events and activities geared towards academic excellence and community service in science, values that I believe are fundamental not only to a career in medicine but to being a great student here at FIU. I was also given the opportunity to become involved with Peer-Led Team Learning, a program that works closely with the Biology department, where I served as a leader for several semesters and intend to continue to do so when my course load allows for it once again. In addition, I volunteer as a research assistant for the Child Narratives Lab in FIU’s Psychology department gaining hands-on experience with conducting studies and interacting with children in a research setting. Finally, I am a work-study in the Financial Aid department. As it stands, I am deeply involved with many different aspects of FIU and I only hope to do more in the future. My fraternity has offered opportunities for leadership that I hope to take advantage of such as positions in Student Government. I also have plans to apply for a role on the Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution’s Student Conduct Committee to be more active in the campus

I am Christian St. Germain, a Junior at Hot Springs High School, the school you went to, looking into your legacy and the negatives and positives of your presidency. As a person, I have always admired you, and I could not care less about the sex scandal. As a president, through all your trials and tribulations, you did well for the country. I watched a documentary in my English class on your rise and fall, and it interested me. I, like you, have always tried to participate in a lot of extracurricular activities. I actually had some family that knew you back in high school. I’m not sure if they knew you personally, or if they just knew of you, but I think that is cool. I by no means am aspiring to be president. It is too much pressure, but I do want to leave a legacy.

Almost everyone has idols someone they admire someone they look up to whether it be a celebrity or a mere president.I however don’t know.The typical answer I would have when somebody ask me who my idol is well I would say my mom but I know deep down that isn’t it.I find it weird inevitably useless to use someone else's life to motivate my own.Earlier today I was asked what makes me want to become President of the United States because I must idolize somebody if I want to become president.I know information about certain past Presidents but that does not mean I idolize them.To idolize is an extent of love respect and greatness.
