Why am I running for Secretary??
I am running for the position of Class of 2024 Secretary this year because I want to have new experiences a more exposure. I have participated in student body leadership and been part of organizational activities throughout middle school including seventh grade when I was student body treasurer (in my old school). Having this role in middle school, it allowed me to understand the ideals of money management and budget restrictions when it came to planning social events like school dances, movie nights, and more. After this journey, I realized that treasurer may not exactly be the best fit for me and I may enjoy a role where I have an opportunity to listen and connect with our class and students better. Running for secretary this year, I have hopes to connect more with our student body and overall become a better listener while everybody voices out their opinions to me. I'm running for this position because I want to have this role where I can communicate with fellow officers and take good notes in order to keep my peers and the student body updated at all times. I hope I make it as Class of 2024 Secretary!
What does leadership mean to me?
I think a good leader makes good choices that benefit themselves as well as the people in their community. They are represented as the role models and I think that is something that I can be. I have often taken charge when a group project is assigned and I know that I can collaborate very well with my peers. I am a good leader because I put other people's choices and decisions before mine and a leader knows how to cooperate with everyone. In addition to these positive aspects fo a leader, one more thing the a leader should have is acknowledgment when they go wrong. A good leader sometimes it's a step back in the situation when they have made a mistake and take into account would have done wrong and own up to it. I understand the fact that everybody makes mistakes and if I get selected this year, there's no guarantee that I wouldn't either, but being a leader also means asking for help and realizing that you went wrong in the situation and allowing others to take control to make up for your mistakes.
