Board of Trustees Student Rep. Personal Statement:

I believe I would be a good candidate for Student Rep. position because I feel strongly about letting everyone’s voice be heard and allowing them to have a say in what they would like to see throughout our school.

I love working with people and I am open to having students from all religions, ethnicities and ages come to me to have their opinions heard.

I am very empathetic and am willing to understand the feelings our student body may have and will express those feelings back to the board.  

I also am very truthful and will not be afraid to express my concerns or feelings about issues that have been expressed to me.  Along with my honesty comes my confidentiality.  Anything spoken to me by students or the board will be spoken with the comfort of knowing it will only stay between me, the students and the board.  

I do not wish for the student body to feel neglected and their voices unheard, so if I were to be selected ad Student Rep, I believe I would allow the student body’s voice to be expressed confidently so that the board of trustee members will listen, acknowledge our needs and wants and celebrate our successes.
