George Washington was born in Febuary 2nd 1732 into a Virginia family of planters where he was taught the manners morals, and knowledge required for a 18th century man. He pursued to main interests military arts and western expansion. At 16 Washington helped survey the Shenandoah Lands for Lord FairFax who was a English Baron who owned vast amounts of farmland in Virginia, working for Lord FairFax helped him learn many valuable things about surveying land. These skills helped him later with his large estate at Mount Vernon. Washington was commissioned a Lieutenant Colonel in Virginia's militia where he fought the first battles of the French and Indian war. This war taught him the skills that were needed to be a great leader that he used when he fought in the American Revolution.…
Defer your participation in student government until at least your sophomore year. As a freshman, you would not really know how things work, and no one is going to listen to you anyway. You can also use that year to come up with your angle or know which positions would fit you well (or just be easy to win).…
I am running for this position due to the fact that I feel that Student Council is an important part of a school’s function. I believe that students should have a voice for decisions in school. I feel by running for Sergeant at Arms that I can bring Junior opinions to Senior officers.…
A model is a method for engaging theory-driven research in an attempt to explain how some specific characteristic of life works. Therefore, models of the Presidency attempt to explain the internal politics of the executive branch by explaining how the behavioral dynamics of actors within the White House shape presidential performance. James David Barber had four different classifications of character, which are active-positive, passive-positive, active-negative, and passive-negative. Barber’s classifications are considered the models of the Presidency.…
Before a candidate can become the future President of the United States he or she must be able to pass certain criteria; such as: be a U.S citizen, must be at least thirty-five years old, also must have lived in the United States for at least fourteen years. These requirements are all found under the U.S Constitution, Article II. Once the president has been elected, he or she is sworn to office and is immediately given several of responsibilities that he or she ought to become responsible during his four year term of presidency. Its duties are the following: Serve as administrative head of the nation, Act as commander in chief of the military, Veto legislation, appoint various officials, Make treaties, and Grant pardons.…
2300 years ago, Aristotle wrote about the importance of character to persuade in his book Rhetoric, writing, “We believe good men more fully and more readily than others: this is true generally whatever the question is, and absolutely true where exact certainty is impossible and opinions are divided” (181-182). This has been proven true since then, particularly in politics, where certainty is impossible and opinions are extremely divided. This importance of character in politics is demonstrated in a September 16th 2016 speech by first lady Michelle Obama where she endorses Hillary Clinton for president and condemns Donald Trump for the same role based on their respective characters and characteristics. Obama believes this to be an effective distinguishment between effective and ineffective candidates for the position as she believes that one’s character maintains constant, saying: “the presidency doesn’t change who you are, it reveals who you are”.…

Since America’s founding, our nation has been led by 43 Commander-in-Chiefs, each on bringing their own way of leading into history. There has been mistakes made, and there have been great triumphs, but no matter what our country has faced we look to one person to lead us, making the job of being President of the United States perhaps the most fulfilling and demanding job. However, over the past presidency and our current, the American people have seemingly become increasingly frustrated with our leaders, both in Congress, and our leader in the oval office. Why have we become so discontent with our president? With correlation of increased public disapproval, there has also been an observance that presidential power over the past and current presidencies as stretched beyond its constitutional limits.…
Currently our President Donald Trump does not have the most favorable polls for a President within their first month. President Barrack Obama started his first week with a 67% approval rating, 13% disapproval rating and 4% had no opinion. (1) President Donald Trump started his first week with the nation divided at a 45% approval and 45% disapproval rating. (2) Believe it or not President Obama’s rating was the worst in our Nation’s history before President Trump took over. The first week is usually a very positive time for any elected President because people are excited that their choice has made it into the White House. The last few decades have seen many Americans disappointed in the outcome of elections. Based on these results it is not…
The decision of the year has been Trump or Clinton. There has been hate, questionable actions, and an array of surprises when we reflect on this years presidential election. There is no doubt that it is controversial, but in the end either Trump or Clinton will be moving into the Oval Office in the start of next year.…
If elected, you would find I am a responsible, determined, and hard working person. I am a dedicated student who very rarely earns below a B. I also feel I am creative and pay great attention to detail. I have shown this in my volunteer work with seniors, at Alma Via, and I have worked with children and adults with disabilities through the horse program at Sonoma State Hospital. I have helped organize family gatherings, outings, and set up for parties with flair and good times. I enjoy the aspect of planning and putting together the fun details for everyone to enjoy.…
As your president, I have a vision to bring diversity and dynamism to the student council and school as a…
From the moment you open your eyes in the morning the pressure, responsibility, and stress from Americas 300 million people weigh on your shoulders until the moment you step out of office. You are elected November and inaugurated in January. You must live up to what are often unrealistic expectations, and attempt to keep a respectable world image at the same time. You are the president of the United States of America.…
The school starts in the morning with assembly and much time is wasted there. If I become the principal I would stop all those long lectures about discipline and hard work. I would encourage the students to share their thoughts and experiences with their schoolmates and the teachers could guide the students with their comments on what they share with them. I would tell the students short stories with a moral in them so that they could learn some good values without undergoing the burden of the tedious lectures.…
When I was running for our class moniotr in the second semester, I did not have any confident, because nobody know much about me, we just met each other about three months. I prepared a whole night for the speech and just have a try, thank goodness some of my best friends they voted for me and trusted me, they moved me very much. Because I just helped them a little in the daily life but they trusted me so much. At that time I made up my mind to be a good monitor working for everybody.…
