Student Council

At the beginning of this school year, I have planned to work as a class representative in ISU Student Council. Firstly, I was elected as 11th grade representative. Therefore, I got into ISU Student Council. It was not the first year for me to attend School government. However this year I had my own personal goals to achieve for my better future. Important of all, I knew that it will look good on my resume to have that I was part of school government. Also I enjoyed being part of an important body of my community. Therefore my goal for attending Student Council for the school year of 2010-2011, I wanted to show everyone what I am capable of doing. Moreover I could be the President of ISU Student Council, so that I can make changes for the well being of all other students at ISU.
I think, I did my job well. I was happy to work with other representatives of different grades and officers of Student Council. I was pleased with organizing events for my peers and it was pleasure to see them enjoy it. By working at ISU Student Council, I did learn a lot too. Sometimes there were issues to cooperate with other peers, therefore I learnt how to pass my ideas without making them angry. I learnt how to work as a team both in terms of a leader and a follower. I gained lots of self confidence due to the accreditation of being part of Student Council. Lastly, I have lots of friends now. I never thought that I would be friends with a third grader. Now, most students at ISU know me or can recognize me. I am truly happy that I have showed service to peers being part of ISU Student Council.
Lately there has been an election of next year's officers. As I have planned I ran for President. I had two opponents, who were both in my class Neil and Enkh-Erdene. I was confident in myself and was fully sure that I will win the election. However the results showed that I was not chosen as the next year's president of ISU Student Council. I was not pleased with the results, however I had learnt something else. I learnt to never underestimate anyone. Although I and everybody else knew that I was the most experienced candidate, I was not fully ready for a speech. My competitor has made an outstanding speech therefore he had won the election. I have not reached my final goal, however I had learnt far more that I thought I would have learnt.
