Keisuke Sakamoto

“I consider myself approachable and I’m friends with the majority of the class so I think I am suitable as a part of class council. I promise you that I will always put everyone’s opinions and concerns before my own because I believe that every single one of us should be heard. I’ll strive to make everyone’s freshmen year the most successful and mostly unforgettable. I understand that going into high school will be tough for all of us but I believe that it is the most memorable year and if I get the chance to be a part of class council, I will do my best to make it the greatest high school year.” 

Akshay Manglani

“I believe that I would be a valuable member of the class council in HS because I believe that I can step in another person’s shoes and really empathize for others. I want to try my leaderships skills in high school by helping and playing a major role in organizing school events such as 9 and 10th grade dances, and other nights. I really want to engage in starting new school events for sports, activities etc.( For example, a survey could be conducted to see what events students would like and a few events could be organized)  Firstly, I will be a good candidate because I have the ability to listen to others and take feedback in order to have a better and safer school. I really believe this is a perfect opportunity to promote my leadership skills. Also I have had experience in being a leader, I have done the peer facilitator program twice, the peer ambassador program once, the school climate committee twice and many other committees throughout middle school. To conclude, I believe that I would be a valuable member to the Class council in high school.”

Bharat Singh

“There are three reasons why I think that I would be a positive addition to the Class Council. Firstly, this position requires leadership skills. In terms of leadership training, I have been to a number of leadership seminars. In addition, I am the 8th grade representative for the service club ‘Reach Out’. One of my electives really cause me to be creative and quick thinking. I also think that I am open to ideas and a very collaborative person. I will enjoy planning events such as Movie Night and hope to have a positive impact on 9th graders.”

Shiv Kapoor

“I believe that I am a fitting candidate to fulfill a CC spot in 9th grade because I have leadership skills, family experience and I am very logical at planning an event. I have participated in 6 leadership seminars, and my sister was the Junior CC this year, showing that understand the time and commitment required. Also with any event I am never the first to panic, an added bonus. I feel that I would work very well as Class Counsel next year.”
