Being a member of Best Buddies and SAVE, I demonstrate a strong sense of dedication for supporting others and lending a helping hand. The goals of both Best Buddies and SAVE are to further acceptance, embrace diversity, promote safety in schools, and spreading positive energy. As a student representative, my sole objective would be to help enlighten the school board and those in the community about the daily life at MHS, advocate for the 1,600 students currently attending, and respectively relay any helpful amendments that would benefit the Mukwonago Area School District. The multiple clubs I participate in and the copious amounts of friendships I developed with people that have contrasting passions also allow me to speak on behalf of a relatively large group of students. The students taking part in the same activities that I belong to range from freshman to seniors. The opinions of a freshman compared to that of a senior’s may vary drastically, and being a part of clubs with a sample of each year will give me an advantage to hear an assortment of…
Although I only officially became President of Van Horn’s National Honor Society in May; I’ve already learned more about being a leader within the community. Community, service, leadership and scholarship have become permanent fixtures in my life. As President I have also become closer to my community and my fellow classmates.…
As the leaders, our main job is to promote school spirit. We are in charge of notifying the student body about upcoming events from sports to band to academic quiz team. This is usually done through Twitter. Mrs. Davis trusts us to not post anything negative or inappropriate. We follow up the notification by having one or more of the leaders attending our events where we lead the Hawks’ Nest. But most importantly, we must make…
Since the beginning of this school year, I have been visiting La Cumbre twice a month to help coordinate school events and elections and advise students about leadership. This experience has allowed me to make a difference in my community by helping students grow, while growing more myself. My hope is that, in the future, leadership programs involve all students. I believe that school leadership needs to be representative of all the demographic groups, not just the…
Last year I was asked to be a small group leader for incoming 7th grade students this year. Having known what it felt like to be a new student in a completely different school I jumped on the opportunity to help. I, like Billy tried to be open and welcoming, encouraging the 7th graders to become involved in the Xaverian community just like Billy did for me and I’m sure many others. My goal was to be able to help the 7th graders in any situation whether they needed advice or just want to share a funny story. As a student council senator I would try to do the same. I would strive to always be friendly and kind to all Xaverian students wanting everyone to feel welcome. I would encourage other to join clubs and activities and go on service projects like X-Act and Christmas in the city. Most of all I would want each and every student at Xaverian to feel accepted and to feel excited, knowing that they are each a key part in the larger, greater, Xaverian…
All four years at AHS, I have participated in three Varsity sports (Volleyball, Basketball and Track). This past year, I served as the team Captain for my volleyball and basketball team. Outside of high school athletics, I participate in club volleyball every year through various local volleyball organizations. I have been a member of the Broadcast club for three years and currently serve as the secretary. I joined Link crew, a club that helps incoming freshmen become acquainted with the high school, my Junior year. This year I have served as the Link Crew President. I have a passion for student government and enjoy participating in it at AHS. I fill the role as Senior Class President and the year before, I was the Junior Class President. I…

When in the course of class history, it becomes necessary for the students to cut off ties with the school. We hold the truth to be self-evident that all students are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator by unalienable rights, that among them are the pursuit of good grades, fairness, and happiness. Students allow themselves to be ruled by the teachers in order to protect their rights. The office is created to protect these rights instead of taking them away from the students. When the rights are being taken away from the students, we have the right to break away and form a new government. The tyrant of Room 25 have broken the social contract by making unfair rules, stopping us from learning, and rushing the due date for homework. The tyrant of Room 25 is corrupt and too strict. His rules are evil and his actions cause many if not all to suffer. He is horrible at grading and is and bad at teaching. His ways of teaching are making us dumb and stupid instead of gaining knowledge. We, the…
In the 2012 “3rd presidential debate on foreign policy” Mitt Romney asserts his statements about what he feels the United States needs to establish in order to correct the nation. Romney supports his assertions by using logos to express his knowledge of statistical data, using ethos to establish himself as a trustworthy contestant, and uses pathos to pull at the voter emotions. His purpose is the give people the impression that he is a trustworthy candidate and that if given the chance in office he will fix all governmental mistakes. Romney establishes an approachable relationship not only with his audience of voters but with future politicians.…
Chartering and being in charge of a club can be very rewarding, but there can also be a plethora of obstacles that have to be overcome. I am the president of the Best Buddies program – a program that seeks to increase interactions between people with and without special needs – at my high school, and I was the first person in my county to charter this program which was back when I was in the eighth grade. Being the President of this specific club is very challenging and unique: it requires you to work with a wide variety of students – in the mainstream setting and those with special needs – and those students’ parents. From these challenges, I learned the value of persistence and the importance of keeping to your word no matter what life…
Throughout my high school career, I have been given numerous opportunities to lead other students by example, work ethic, volunteerism, and school involvement. I believe that my greatest impact as a leader in high school has been through my participation in a Service Learning Class. This class gave me the chance to help and lead others by tutoring younger students in the middle school and elementary school. As a senior, I felt responsible for providing a voice for the class in ideas and decisions to help better our school. I worked with administrators, teachers, and class members to promote healthy habits of responsibility, school pride, respect, and service.…
I had discovered who I was, and it was exactly who I aspired to be: a girl with authority and the title to prove it. I was one of three freshman representatives of the Student Board, the prestigious and sought-after body of student government. The entire year I held onto that identity and knew it was only a matter of time before my incumbency kicked in and I would begin anew with my sophomore term.…
Together with the other officers, we will work as an unstoppable team with our objective being to best serve you. I really do think we can make next year a great one. If you elect me, I will make sure we use every penny wisely and that you can count on my records. I'll give everything I have to our class’s benefit. I want to be involved in leading our class. I know the importance of it and how it could improve me, personally and professionally. I am asking you for your…
As a current class officer, I feel that there is untapped potential for what the class council can do. I believe the next class council needs organization, communication, and a well defined mission with set goals. I am ready to bring my leadership skills and experience to the table to implement these three values.…
I feel that sometimes I am trying much too hard, or not hard enough to be responsible. It’s rough when you can’t find the balance point, but I am 100 percent willing to give the role of class president my all. I would love to represent our class as president. I really love our class, and I love Edison. I’ve been with most of our class for a…
