I want to be a student council for my school Riley Upper Elementary because, I can help out doing social events, help raise funds, and helping out my fellow community. I want to be the student council because, I am always avalilable, in and sometime after school, I am a great persuader, I would also want to experience the time with the staff, and to get to know them better too.

I can also be a independent worker, I can also work in groups easily as well as I work alone. So that is all the things I am to be the perfect student council for our school Get

What does it mean to be in the student council? It means to be able to be a voice for the students, to be able to pull off organizations for the school, and be socially aware in the school. Here are a few examples I am addressing in this paper. To be in the student council, you need to be able to listen to what the students want and make compromises. If a student has an idea then you should listen to it and see if it is an appropriate idea for school. If it is a good idea, you need to be able to convince the other members of the students council, and the staff members of the school, that it is a good idea that will, not only help but improve to school. You need to be able to voice the students of their needs and not only help them, but be able to help everyone in the school. Another example is...show more content...

You need to be able to see what the students are interested in and see what would make them more social into the events that you will later plan in the future. You need to be able to understand why they liked it and if it's inappropriate thing to show at school events. You need to be able to make the event fun, and creative yet appropriate for everyone including parents and teachers. You want to meet the standards of the students expectations of the event or even just anything in general for the student Council to be more appealing to the students and make them or intrigued into what you plan for them to do throughout the school year. These are just a few examples of what I think is the importance of being in the student council. There are a lot more other things than just this, but these are some of the ones that I think would be important to know when doing the student council. I hope, that if I get in, that this would be able to help students better understand what we would want to do for them and let them be somewhat

Participating in student council has impacted my life extremely. Running in seventh grade was the best spur impulse decision I have made. I wasn't certain I wanted to run because of previous losses in fifth and sixth grade and how heavyhearted those losses made me. I'm so glad I ended up running. I got interested in student council in fourth grade when I was my closest friends campaign manager when she had run, which kind of sounds frivolous in fourth grade. Even though I was pretty bashful and reserved as a little kid, once I got in middle school, I was ready to finally take a vast step into becoming myself, which for me was being in the student council. In seventh grade I was a candidate for Team Cougar Representative. The two weeks we had to campaign were the longest two weeks of my life. I worked so hard making posters and trying to impress everyone to get the maximum amount of votes. I ran against several sweet girls and close friends, which was very stressful and emotional for me. Even though I had fears of losing, I didn't let anything stop me. While I endeavored this new goal, I realized all the love and support I receive from my family and friends and it's because of their encouragement that I am where I...show more content...

On April 26, 2017 I was made eighth grade secretary. Last year Mrs. Trimble, our advisor, just had us in her advisory. Thirty minutes a week to organize immense school functions for a little over one–thousand students wasn't enough time, imagine that. This year we have student council as an elective class, so we are allowed more time to do what we need to. This is extremely nice because we have a lot to do as a board. Student council positions in high school can open up opportunities to apply for scholarships and prepare you for future jobs. Soon enough, I'll start thinking about those possibilities, but all the worry is worth
