I love this school so, so much. I love everyone in it and everything about it.
I remember being new here in the beginning of last year, and I was never worried for a second about making friends. All my fellow 7th graders were so welcoming that I never once doubted that I would make friends easily. They accepted me almost immediately, and in a matter of a week, I felt I was truly part of the school and that I had been there for years. They had taken me in, and I felt I fit perfectly. Not only am I free to be myself, but I have changed for the better since I came here, and I have never been happier with myself! On top of that, the teachers are wonderful!

The reason I want to run this committee, is because I love to befriend new people, Become closer with the people I already know, and to advertize my school because I believe that everyone should experience such a wonderful atmosphere sometime in their lives. I want to give to other people the gift that was given to me; love, joy, and a caring family outside of your …show more content…
An example of this, was when around this time last year, I was starting basketball. I had never played before, but I love sports so I decided to give it a try. I caught on quickly, but I just wasn’t confident enough to take a shot during a game. it happened over and over, and I look back and see what a huge mistake that was and how much I regret it. I put myself down by telling myself I wasn’t good enough to try to take the shot, even though I was. I finally managed to overcome that and I eventually made that basket. But I could never have done that if not for my time here, with people who encourage, support, and love me no matter what. Since then, I have learned to go for what I want, instead of shying
