Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Working After School

Ever since I was little I knew I wanted to make a difference; whether it meant staying after school to help out, getting involved with the community or doing a bit more to try and make people happy. In the fourth grade I had finally built up enough courage to run from the student council and from there I worked my way up through the years. Student council has given me countless opportunities of leadership experiences that has made it easy for me to stand out in a crowd. An experience in which I knew the hard work had paid off was when it came to planning prom. The few other students working with me had slowly began to contribute less as it came closer to the day of prom. Leaving our teacher advisor and me to put in the extra hours and effort
to make sure it all came together perfectly. It meant for many days of creating time and finding more ways to make this a memorable night for the students at my school. When I knew all the hard work made a difference was seeing large crowd of students that made it out to the dance and the numbers of satisfied reviews. It made it all the more worth it, knowing that going the extra mile can make so many more people happy than you ever imagined. From starting as a representative position in early elementary school I would have never thought I would fall in love with the program and end up becoming successful in a student body position. Student council has positively influenced me in ways I cannot even describe and I know there is more of a future in it as I plan to stay involved in college. It has taught me that it’s not about what you get out of it but what you put into it that gets you the satisfactory results.
