Journey to Student Council Membership:
My journey to the Student Council was very unusual. When I was nominated for the post of Jaguar vice-captain, I didn’t come in the top 2. When the elected vice-captain had to leave school, due to relocation, I was selected into the Student Council. It was a very challenging process to give a speech, campaign, and then bear the stress of the election results. But whatever happened, the entire experience was truly memorable and came with a lot of learning. Thinking beyond failure and not getting disheartened by results that don’t go your way, truly changed the way I look at similar situations. I am very grateful to the school and the teachers for this opportunity.
Leadership Goals:
- Being inclusive and sensitive to every students’ needs.
- Propose to restart school programs which have been discontinued, or look for the best alternatives. For example – restarting the Battle of the Bands.
