<p>Everyone running for a Student Council office has to give a "speech," which consists of standing up in the cafeteria and saying a few words while everyone ignores you. Well, some people listen.</p>
<p>Anyway, I want something short, but still good. I'm supposed to discuss my plans/qualifications.</p>
<p>Any suggestions on what to say?</p>
<p>Just don't twist your words. Speak the truth, nothing else, no words stretching and what not.</p>
<p>haha..talk about your plans and qualifications. but be concise. and accessible.</p>
<p>haha..</p>
<p>I was thinking: "I'm Ziggy. Vote for me. Because the World don't move to the beat of just one drum. What might be right for you, may not be right for some. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have...my electoral statement. [Sit, BoBo, sit. Good dog.]"</p>
<p>hahah it would make me laugh.</p>
<p>unfortunately i don't go to your school.</p>
<p>unfortunately....</p>
<p>last year i didn't even give one because I ran unopposed (in fact, there were 3 representative spots open, and I was the only chose, so after a bunch of ppl turned it down, ppl who got like 2 write-in votes got in haha).</p>
<p>i'm running for executive rep..i don't have to say a speech or anything, though. and i'm not all into it to put up posters and stuff.</p>
<p>plus, anyone who doesn't win is on student council anyway lol</p>
<p>hehe well last year we merged student gov and student council into "student congress," but now they're going back to 2 seperate bodies.</p>
<p>haha i hate student council. we just argue the whole time. and it's really cliquey. except i can't spell "cliquey."</p>
<p>haha...Student Council is generally a waste....3 people do stuff and the other 15 or so do nothing :).</p>
<p>wait a minute ziggy, so you mean they changed our student council, again....</p>
<p>EDIT: You wrote our story wrong, you and somebody else ran for 3 spots and I had everybody in AP World write me in so I got in with about 10 votes</p>
<p>oh yeah...Dana did "run," huh?...I though she was a write-in.</p>
<p>either way, she's a ****ing waste.</p>
<p>yeah.</p>
<p>haha the VP our our council kicked out my friend because she "had missed 3 meetings," but really they just didn't like her. it's terrible.</p>
<p>hahah and we were numbering prom invitations, and they wouldn't let my other friend do the numbering because they didn't trust her to do it right..even though she's in calculus. lol</p>
<p>that's how obnoxious stuco is at my school..</p>
<p>haha, not much of that at our school...largely b/c there's not really enough people to form solid cliques....how many kids at your school/in you class?</p>
<p>about 2300 at our school and 520 in the junior class..how about you?</p>
<p>hmm about 400...110 in our class (we're big, the seniors only have ~80)...so yeah, everyone basically knows everyone, not enough people for good cliques. :).</p>
<p>haha oh man, you're missing out big time.</p>
<p>I just won an election. Yesterday =]. Won 75% of the votes exactly =P. PM me if you'd like some help. I think my speech was the strong point.</p>
