Student council elections

Student council is something people take lightly. I mean they are the leaders who can be your voice to the school board.
Leaders are the ones who sets an example to the others. Leaders are not necessarily supposed to be the monitor, or the president of the student council, or the captain of a team.
Leaders come from all types of backgrounds, you just need to identify your leadership qualities. Hi, I'm Ashley Svishnu and today I'm going to be talking about the student council elections.

Now I take student council elections very seriously. I personally feel very responsible and important whether I'm the one voting or the one nominated. Some of you might think that "What's the big deal about the student council elections? I mean, it's not like we're voting for the primeminister or president of our nation." I know, but it doesn't mean that it should be taken lightly. I've seen many people complain on how the council members are not doing anything or are annoying, and that is because you maybe haven't voted for the right person.

I strongly believe in impartial voting. When I vote for someone whether it's my best friend or some random student, I don't care who they are to me, as long as they are fit for the post, I will vote for them. If you vote the student just because they're your friend or if they're popular, then it could be useless if they're not the right one for the post. So don't have that mentality, I mean it's good to support them and all, but you could suffer being under the wrong leadership and end up complaining.

When I hear the nominees speeches,  I judge them on three conditions. Based on these conditions, I decide whether or not to vote for them. The conditions are:-

  • If they are confident during their speech- It is important that a leader should be confident, but not over confident. It is important that if you want to be a leader, you need to believe in yourself first, before anyone can trust their vote on you. I mean you could convince someone that a carrot is a fruit, if you are confident that it is( not that a carrot is a fruit, but it was an example 😅).
  • If they have good ideas- If you want to be a leader, you need a vision or goal to achieve. You need to grab people's attention with your ideas. Not outrageous ideas, but something that will benifit the students and the school.
Their previous performances and qualities- As we all have heard actions speak louder than words, your previous works and attitude should define if you are worthy. It's kinda funny that we've heard the quote-"Action speak louder than words." More times than actually seeing it happen. We can all be confident and have good ideas and get elected, but not fulfill any of them. If we know your previous works and contributions, and if you have the right attitude (most important) then you are probably the right candidate for the post.

Those were my conditions. I hope it will help the people who are planning to run for the elections. I believe if you vote based on these conditions, then you will have a good council leading you. And if you want to be a leader in the future then I recommend you trying to run for the student council elections. And don't participate in it just because it will look good on your resume, participate if you really want to make a difference, and do your best with the right attitude and intention. May the best candidate win.😉

                                           Goodbye.

Meet Ms. Anjana

There are many good teachers in the world, some are like a 2nd mother or are like a friend. If you are a teacher or want to be one... Which one would you prefer? But what if you choose to be both, and that is what one of my teachers chose to be. Hi I'm Ashley Svishnu and today I'll be talking about my teacher Ms. Anjana. My teacher is super cool, she cracks jokes sometimes, laughs with us, does her job well. And she teaches the subject which I've heard many people find difficulty in... That's right people.. MATH! And she teaches great for a math teacher. Ms. Anjana..You might be reading this so I just wanted to say that never stop encouraging students, pushing them, believing in them, laughing with them and teaching them not only the subject, but also to interact with one another. This advice also goes to all the teachers out there, never leave a child with broken wings, help them to fly or make others to help them fly. Get to know them and interact with them, caus...

My friend, Alex(Alexandra)

Sarcasm, it can be a sense of humour or an insult. It could be very misunderstood. But the real question is that how do we take sarcasm, do we take it as an insult or..A sense of humour. Hi, I'm Ashley Svishnu and today I will be telling you about my friend, Alex. Alex is very understanding, but she is more sarcastic than understanding.....Alex, I know you are reading this so if you feel bad suck it up like you always do. Alex is a type of friend who is mature,well sort of, but she would call herself immaturely mature..😐 moving on. She is a good friend to me, she gives time to me and Eloise, yeah she is like the person who is on no one's side when there is a fight, instead she'll be watching us fight and eating popcorn and if it is serious she will try to stop the fight and continue eating. She is super sarcastic.... I swear Eloise is so gullible, she believes most whatever she says....I guess Alex is slightly better than sarcasm than me😔. I like to take sarcasm mor...

Meet Madison

Sometimes other people's fears are humor to us. But it is also our job as friends to help them get over it. You may think their insane, but in the end, we all have fears. Hi I'm Ashley Svishnu and today I will be introducing you to my friend Madison.She really cheers me up with her over acting. But she is super kind and innocent compared to the rest of my friends. Her fears are pretty funny, literally, I went shopping with my friends and sister in the mall with adult's super vision of course. We went to this arcade sort of place in the mall, so there was this ride for two, so my sister and my other friend went first, then it was me and Madison next. When we went in the ride, it made us feel like we're in this rollercoaster. So on the screen they were showing we were in a dungeon and fire was shown on the screen and she started screaming, literally people from outside was looking in, my friend and sister were laughing, and I said her to shut up, but through out the ri...
