Essay About Representative Of The Students And Teachers Scholars Of Issa

Being Captain of the Src
Friends,teachers scholars of ISSA I stand before you supposedly selling myself as part of this speech so you could vote for me as your leader in the SRC, but I dont want to make this about me. Being part of SRC is not about who I am – its about representing every student in this school. As a representative of the students at the international school of South Africa, I will listen to YOU tell ME about YOU, not the other way around. I will listen to what you like and dont like about being a student here, and Ill take YOUR story to the staff, not mine. If you want to know more about me, feel free to come and find me around the campus and say hello. Im not here to talk about me. Im here to talk about ISSA and what WE, the students, can do to make this a better place.  This school has 6 values. Respect for allHard WorkHonestySocial AwarenessResponsibilityCompassion Well, I respect those values. Who wouldnt? You could only be inhuman to say these 6 values aren’t the foundation of our future and we shouldnt try to uphold them at all times. Thats why theyre called values – because theyre valuable. Being respectful to each other, to the staff, to the school, and to the community – thats important. Trying to achieve excellence – well, why try at all if youre not going to try and reach the sky? Responsibility, Compassion  ? Of course! But lets talk about honesty, because thats the most important value of them all. Without honesty, there is no respect, no compassion, no claims of working hard. Being honest is what lets us be better. As a student representative, I want you to be honest with me about school, so that I can be honest with the school about what we want, what we need, and what we want to change for the better, however in as much as I want to represent you to the management of the school the process is symmetrical as they( management) will also voice out their opinions through the SRC.
