Leadership.
In presidential elections, candidates run on a platform of change. As my government teacher always says,"No one will vote for someone, if their platform is that they are gonna run the country just like the last guy did." Their logos revolve all around the ideas of 'reform' and 'change' because that is what people want to do when they are put in charge. When one is given a leadership role their goal is to make things better than they were. If they only want the position for the title, they will not be a well liked leader because change is what people expect.
Because we live in a democratic society, people usually elect their leaders. There are also plenty of situations where people with leadership qualities rise to the top because of the situations they are presented with need someone to take charge. However, these individuals have less stress placed on them from others, because no one elected them, but they may place expectations on themselves.
As someone who has recently been elected to be in a leadership role, I can tell you it is extremely honoring and humbling, It was also very nerve-racking, because I have recently been struggling with balancing all of the things on my schedule I have this year, how will I be able to manage a whole team next year? I am no president, but there were so many things that came to my mind revolving around change and what I myself could do to better the team. How could I pass up this opportunity? I see myself as a rather out going and personable person and I want people to remember me for that, so what better opportunity to do that than accept my elected position as a captain of the Swimming and Diving team at Kennedy High School.
My name is Jayden Lovell and I approve this message.
