Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.

This year, there were elections at my school for "Students Council President" and I had always wanted to participate, so I decided to take part of it. I was very excited for I was going to have the chance to improve the school and make a change for the better. I consider myself an ambitious person so I was convinced I should run for president.

Normally, there would be no more than three candidates running for election and they did was give a speech in front of the entire school, but this year there were six in total, so things were going to be tougher. Something different had to be done and I was thinking on innovation.

People aren't much into the school elections anyway; elected presidents usually have a bad image since they promise things which they never accomplish. I had to make a difference and prove that I could do better. I didn't have as much popularity as some of the other candidates had, but that couldn't stop me.

Since students weren't really involved in the elections, and the whole process only lasted 1 day, students aren't motivated with the whole thing, for them it is just some time in which they get to skip class by having to listen to all the speeches. This had to change.

Since I have always enjoyed following anything to do with politics either nationally or worldwide, I compared my run for presidency to a proper national election one, and among the differences, there was one which struck me the most: The lack of a campaign. There had never been a tradition of doing so in our school so I thought I should start something new, and make it happen.

I designed a funny poster with my face on it and printed many of them to stick around the school. I also wanted to make a connection with my potential voters,

    Being involved with Project 18 has impacted both the high school and the community throughout the last year. Project 18 also known as Political Action in which students volunteer for the community as well as candidates during the upcoming elections. I have volunteer to help numerous candidates in many ways such as door knockings and setting up signs. Our school annually has a THON that I have attended and been a part of to positively affect the high school as well as numerous foundations. When elections come around I have went around with fellow classmates to get people who are 18 or will be before the election to register to vote. Helping people register gets the communities numbers of voters up, in a time where numbers are down. Drugs are…

    I discovered that even with the best of intentions, you cannot please everyone; there will always be opposition and not everyone will like you. I realized being an elected official is more challenging than I expected. I recognized in the face of controversy, it is important to listen to others’ point of view while remaining true to your own beliefs. I found out I am resilient and able to turn a stressful situation into a learning experience. I learned I can rise above negativity and come out on top. I am proud to have overcome this challenge and for my ability to look at it as a positive…

    When we were younger some of us say we were going to be doctors, lawyers, or police officers. Remember in elementary school in 5th grade, teachers set up an election. Students ran for president, vice president, and secretary. When it came to winning all you needed was a lot of candy and you had all the votes. But it is not that simple when it comes to being president of the United States.…

    Living in the U.S today with a political election coming up I believe it is important to be involved in the voting process. As young adults, we as juniors and seniors almost of age to vote really should in my opinion should be paying attention to the election more than they ever have. The reason for that is due to the fact that the U.S has one of the lowest voter turnout of any country in the world while the U.S in 2012 56% of voters turned out while some countries will get up to 95% voter turnout. The fact is people have been paying less and less attention to the voting process. Which in my opinion is caused by the fact that as americans we seem to not care who is elected because people don't really know how the whole system works. A lot people…

    4 Reiterate near the end of your student election speeches why people should vote for you and try not to give more than three solid reasons. Even people who have daydreamed during your whole speech will most likely pay attention at the end and people tend to remember things in sets of three better than any other number so that is your opportunity to really drive home your strong points.…

    I put up posters with my name that attracted the general audience, had positive influences I could pursue and had slogans put up with my name around it. When reading my speech I said all the things I knew I could do with some exaggeration added. I would go around the school and talk to different people, asking them what their concerns were and told them how I could make things better. I was influencing their behavior to vote for me. By doing and saying things people wanted to hear lead me to be victorious in the…
