The Council

An ecumenical council is a conference of ecclesiastical dignitaries and theological experts (i.e. bishops, theologians, etc.) that are officially assembled.

While the recent New Laws are among the most controversial of discussions that this council has faced, we, as the leaders of the Indies, must unite to maintain Spain’s supreme power and undying legacy. The Council of the Indies has addressed the encomienda system on countless occasions, but so far, with little success; the reasons for this being the imbalance of the proposed approaches, and…

began learning about my leadership skills. However, my curiousity grew when I was introduced to Class Council. I thought that there was no difference, and I naively thought that since I have been a part of a leadership role for about 4 years, everyone knows me, so I thought Class Council could not be so hard.

The first amendment is about family involvement in children's education, especially children with disabilities. Parents are so important in the educational process, and everything goes better when they're involved. The Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) includes "Family engagement" as one of their core values. Nevertheless, unless a teacher communicates with the parent where their child academically struggles nothing will change for that child. This might be a difficult amendment to…

speak in front of everyone?” he asked. The buzz from my phone forced open my heavy eyelids. My body struggled for warmth as the frigid winter air cooled my bed. The message was from my friend of many years. He was anxiously preparing for our Class Council meeting which would be in two hours. “You can do this,” I managed to type back, despite blurry vision and extreme exhaustion. “I believe in you and what you have done. Be confident. They are going to love you.” A few weeks prior I asked my…
