Why did you run for an executive officer position? 

I thought it would be a great way to get involved with the people I don’t get to talk to at school, and understand what they are going through and see if they need help with anything.

What is your favorite part about being a student council officer?

Getting to know the board and spending time with them. They are all so fun and help out with everything, plus we are getting more involved by planning, and decorating the halls with one another.

What are some challenges you faced while running for office?

The challenge I faced is thinking of ideas to make the school a better place. I believe the school should be more united, I thought of new activities, and socials that would bring the school together. 

What have you learned from this role?

I’m looking to learn to be a mature person, and learn more responsibilities as I move forward in life. 

How do you want to be remembered as an executive officer? 

I want people to remember me by my hardships, kindness towards others, and how I like Dr Pepper.
