Student Council
Hello. My name is George Robins, and I am the candidate for the Student Council Representative. Last year members of the Student Council did a great job by adjusting the academic schedule to our needs, organizing the clubs of national minority students and improving the living conditions in the hostel. However, I think that the Council needs some refreshment - new representatives are to come in and reinforce the experience of the old ones by their enthusiasm. In my opinion, this new approach can be demonstrated by first-year students.

I was authorized by the freshmen of our university to run for the student council representative. I guess they chose me because I was previously involved in high school council and afterwards spent one year participating in the Freedom Support Act project for future leaders. One of my achievements was the ban of the compensation system on PT lessons, so that our students didn't have to make up for the lessons when they were ill or absent.

To tell the truth, this "political" and leadership experience only stirred up my thirst for making the world a better place by showing the ways to do it. For example, our university is a wonderful place to study at, but still it needs some improvement: those who ride to the university by bicycle or on roller-skate would benefit, if the car movement were restricted on the campus territory. Those who live in the hostel would find their life easier, had there been a special bus connecting the hostel and the campus, so that they won't have to travel by two means of transport twice a day. The senior students would have more time for finding a proper job, had their academic periods been scheduled for two days instead of five. To put it in a nutshell, there is a thousand other trifles that would make our university a sophisticated and comfortable place to study in.

The slogan for my election campaign is "FRESHMAN FOR REFRESHMENT", and as a representative of first-year students I come out for

    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…

    I want to see more of my fellow high students be admitted into UC schools, the protection of women’s and the LGBTQ community’s rights, everyone having access to healthycare, senior citizens getting the benefits they worked for, and more. The idea that positive change can happen in the city I was raised in drove me to wake up the morning to canvass, make hundreds of calls, and push high school students to be more involved in local politics. Back then, I would never have believe my actions as a high school girl can impact my hometown as a whole. If there is one thing in life that I am proud of, it is my participation and leadership in helping Ro Khanna become the congressman for California’s 17th…

    Student council has afforded me with so many opportunities and MASC Hyannis will only add to these amazing experiences. These experiences are ones that I will remember for a lifetime and help me grow as a person. As a student council representative, I have done my best to become involved and contribute to the council. In August I participated in StartSTRONG which opened my eyes and eased my tensions on high school. I learned all about what the MHS Student Council has to offer. In September I ran for Member at Large for my class and while I didn't win; I learned quite a few thing from that experience. I learned that it does not matter what position or how much power I have, I decide how active of a student council member…

    A leadership experience in which I had a positive influence on the lives of other students was having the opportunity to be chosen as a link crew leader. As a link crew leader, I participated in the organization of freshman orientation and getting assigned a group of freshman to do activities with. On the day of orientation, I received my group of 10 freshmen who seemed nervous and timid of what high school held for them in the future. Incidentally, the director who organized the event introduced a new freshman named Armando to my group who only spoke Spanish. This took me by surprise and I knew it was going to be a challenge having to translate what I was saying without making him feel left out of the rest of the group. He was diffident and…

    I never thought I would be writing you this letter. There was a time when I thought our love would stand the test of time and nothing could come between us. Unfortunately, the years have chipped away at our once perfect relationship and there is nothing left to hold on to. The way things are now, we are no longer a positive influence in each other's life. We just make each other miserable instead of happy, and make life harder rather than easier. It is time to call it quits and go our separate ways.…
