Junior Class Vice President Research Paper

Then fundraisers, my favorite, I set up multiple fundraisers that helped contribute to the beautiful junior prom that I devoted hours to decorating. Vice President was tough especially during Battle Of The Classes when my treasurer and President gave up. A true leader never gives up. They always believe in their people. That is why the win senior year was so incredibly rewarding. Senior year, as Vice President, I became senior class. I held meetings, organized fundraisers for not only senior class but for many charities too. Along with the help of a few friends we put together a humorous homecoming skit.

Which is why I spread the word, held many practices, meetings, discussions, and trips to party city to pull off the big Battle of The Classes senior year victory. The week of battle was intense and even when other class officers bailed, my peers all cme and worked their hardest and tried their best.

Section 1, Article 7 of the FHS Constitution states that the President shall retain a status of an ex-offico member of all committees within our Government. This is where I'll work to deliver to the student of FHS more fun activities such as pep rallies and dances. Obviously, a pep rally every week or even every month is quite an unreasonable suggestion but, a more conservative goal of at least one a term does not seem like too much to ask. Furthermore, to improve the experience of the Students of FHS, I wish to incorporate more dances within the school year.…
