Excellencies,
Ladies & Gentlemen,

My name is Charles, I am a freshmen in UCLA and I am the candidate for the Student Parliament Minister of Environment. I heard that last year members of the Student Parliament did a great job by improving the school’s conditions to our needs, organizing events for students. However, I think that the Council needs some refreshment - new faces, new ideas are to come in and reinforce the experience of the old ones with their enthusiasm.

In my opinion, this new approach can be demonstrated by first-year students. 

I was authorized by the freshmen of our school 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 European Youth Parliament and Model United Nations project for future leaders. One of my achievements in my old school 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 school is a wonderful place to study at, but still it needs some improvement: we have to take care our environment more seriously. Not for just rules we have to take care because we want it personally. You can start with Reduce, reuse and recycle.

The two slogans for my election campaign are "FRESHMAN FOR REFRESHMENT", and “ TODAY THE SCHOOL-TOMORROW THE WORLD” and as a representative of first-year students I come out for bringing new energy and new enthusiasm to the student council. I am not going to convince you that I am the very best candidate for this position. I am only 17; I have quite a modest track record in the school council and participating in the cultural exchange programme for future leaders. I lack experience, but it is compensated

    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…

    Sophomore Class President Serena Saleh uses a decent amount of time after school for her class, especially when there are fundraisers and meetings. “Time is never really wasted,” she says. She says that the student government can be very productive when conducting business without deadline worries. In her opinion, being class president is most enjoyable when she knows that her work is helping to improve the class and giving a voice to the students of the Sophomore Class. This is Saleh`s third year as president. Her greatest improvements are in her leadership, public speaking ability, and character. Some of the biggest problems she faces are the planning of events, working around everyone’s schedules, last minute plans, and…

    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…

    Since freshmen year I have looked up to student council and seen them as the leaders of the school and I have strived to reach that level of leadership and sedulous attitude.

    “Yet I seek not a fellow feeling in my misery. No sympathy may I ever find. When I first sought it, it was the love of virtue, the feelings of happiness and affection with which my whole being overflowed, that I wished to be participated. But now that virtue has become to me a shadow, and that happiness and affection are turned into bitter and loathing despair, in what should I seek for sympathy? I am content to suffer alone while my sufferings shall endure; when I die, I am well satisfied that abhorrence and opprobrium should load my memory. Once my fancy was soothed with dreams of virtue, of fame, and of enjoyment. Once I falsely hoped to meet with beings who, pardoning my outward form, would love me for the excellent qualities which I was capable of unfolding. I was nourished with high thoughts of honour and devotion. But now crime has degraded me beneath the meanest animal. No guilt, no mischief, no malignity, no misery, can be found comparable to mine. When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.”…
