Student council is also for the cool kids :)

This is my last entry for the student council activity. Honestly I only entered the student council in order to get my CAS points and planned on doing nothing all year long. Things changed quickly. The student council meetings were always fun to attend. I made new friends and talked to people I would never have talked to outside the meetings. There were also awesome privileges that came with being in the student council but the most important one is that since that day, I never had to stay in line waiting for lunch. All I had to say was that I was in the student council and people had no choice but to let me cut in line, because the student council was there to listen to their complaints and why not do something nice for the student council too?

During my year in the student council, we discussed student complaints, uniform changes, planned parties, some failures and others surprisingly successes. I improved my listening and team work skills and learned a few other useful tips that will surely be useful sometime in the future. This is by far my longest activity and it was not always easy committing to the weekly meetings but I made it. Maybe I will be in some sort of student council in my university, who knows!?

These are the learning outcomes I achieved:

- Increase my awareness of my own strengths and areas of growth.
- Show perseverance and commitment in my activities.
- Work collaboratively with others.
- Undertake new challenges.
