<p>I'd like to run for student body in college. I'm attending a prestigious university this fall (incoming freshman) and I'm a bit hesitant about doing so. I believe that I have the skills and devotion to want to be a part of my school's community, however I've never actually ran for a student body position before (except VP in 4th Grade but I don't think that counts :D).</p>
<p>I won't deny the fact that I used to be a loner my first few years in high school (for various reasons--self esteem, "introvertedness", appearance, etc), but I've branched out since then and I'd like to make a new start with wanting my to join student government. At my college, there isn't exactly a President, VP, Treasurer, or Secretary but instead 5-7 members on a student committee. So I'd just be another player. Anyways, I can speak relatively well (although I stutter occasionally and fumble with words at times), I have ideas and contributions that I'd like to make in support of our class, and I have experience (not necessarily with Student Government on the high school level but I did hold many leadership positions on a variety of clubs and organizations in school).</p>
<p>I'm just a tad worried about what to expect and I'm afraid that being a minority would set me back as well. I was hoping that you guys on cc could help a gal out. How are campaigns for student government usually run. What can I do to boost my chances in running for this position?</p>
