In the eighteen years of my life, I have done many things to achieve my goals. Though my objective tends to change in detail, it does not budge from the whole. My goals consist of gaining knowledge of the world and people, and provide myself a path to follow while changing the world a step at a time. Although my aims sounds a bit farfetched and difficult, it is what I intend to accomplish.

The leadership falls upon the students themselves. Dealing within a high school setting is difficult to manage at times due to the lack of cooperation within the school’s students. Despite this lack of cooperation, Student Council nonetheless tries to change the way things are. To combat against bullying the organization promotes anti-bullying awareness, calling out on people bullying others or standing by and watching it happen.

The student-lead organization has taught me the inherent value of compassion and respect towards others, giving me the opportunity to further my understanding of life and its inhabitants in general. To bring forth change is to not force it; true and good change is a gradual process. To bring progress, one had to first understand the root of the problem. Student Council, while giving me volunteering opportunities, has given me the social skills to achieve my goals for the
