Student Representative Council

I hate my religion teacher. There. I said it.

I hate her.

There, I said it again.

I hate her.

Oh wow, I'm getting good at this.

Anyway. I'm currently writing my SRC speech, and after a few hours I have two paragraphs. T_T This is what I have so far:

Last year I stood before you in this time and place unprepared, unrehearsed and unsuccessful. Today, I stand with you not to promote myself and not to sound “luvo,” but instead I stand here today for you with a vision to represent the homeroom that have for the past five years become the sisters I never had.

To me being an SRC is not having a position within the school. Leadership is not a position, instead it is action. In voting for someone to become SRC it is choosing to believe in the hope that action can and will take place, to help this institution become the school you want and deserve. To me, leadership is action, not position. SRC is action, not position. SRC is change, development, improvement, but most of all it is the students, for the students. It is about our peers, it is about being an open ear and a powerful voice. It is not about me, it is about all of you.

Mahatma Gandhi once advised to, “be the change that you want to see in the world.” I am ready to challenge the responsibility of facilitating that change, and I thirst to become that open ear and powerful voice for you.



That's what I have so far.

Until next time -
