<p>Hey everybody. I'm running to be my Junior Year class President. Speeches oN May 10th. Just got approved to run. Meaning we can start campaigning. Any ideas/ tips/ secrets/ help? thanks guys. very very appreciated. I'm gonna win this thing.</p>
<p>Well, then, you don't need our help. :p</p>
<p>give free stuff. everyone loves free stuff. even rich ppl</p>
<p>Say how great you are but don't be arrogant about it. It's kind of hard....but I won student body secretary against a popular senior with it! She didn't really say how qualified she was in her speech. She just said she deserved it because it was her last year.</p>
<p>Appeal to grassroot concerns if possible and formally outline plans to take action to reform it to the likes of the juniors. Show what your track record in the past has been as well.</p>
<p>Alrite.Thanks guys. This is very useful stuff. Haha Martha. I meant more like "I want to win this thing" and thanks for the input kman/jackson. any idea how to show strenghts, without arrogance. Like. I have some strenghts I'd like to share, but i was afraid i'd sound too cocky =/ . Any other help? thanks guys</p>
<p>it's okay, it's okay, those positions are mere figureheads no matter what people say they will do.. no one really cares about the position SO they just vote for the popular student no matter what so honestly just be goofy and it will increase yo chances</p>
<p>can you explain with more detail logisticslord? I'm kinda getting what your saying. but not 100%</p>
<p>He is saying that popularity trumps most in these contests and that animation of oneself on the stand works very well towards gaining position. In addition, few care about the position; in many schools it has no power attached.</p>
<p>honestly, as sad as it is, whoever gives the funniest speech wins--be a clown up there and maybe throw out 1-2 empty promises</p>
<p>best if they are obviously empty promises</p>
<p>Tell them if they vote for you, all their wildest dreams will come true. Sorry, I just had to say it.</p>
<p>Dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>say all your serious talents first (good leader, organization, creativity, etc) and then add a humorous talent so they associate your strengths with goodness and laughing. it worked for my brother when he ran for treasurer.</p>
<p>giving this a bump. thanks guys. i'm trying to get a speech worked up. something to do with a bitta singing. haha. any other ideas?</p>
