Getting a position on student government doesn't really seem to be about choosing a president that will lead the school in a better direction, not about helping the school become the best it can be, but rather more of a popularity contest. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but it just seemed really obvious in the pass two years with the election of two very popular, and possibly unqualified, people into student government positions. The first occurred last year with the election of a very popular, Asian girl into the position of SGA vice president. That year was a very disappointing one with regards to events and things of that sort. The next occurred this year with the election of a rather popular, unqualified girl into the office of president. I say that she's unqualified because there was another candidate that was much better at being a leader who would have done a much better job.
Sigh, I guess I'm just complaining because I'm running against a really popular girl for SGA vice president. Well, I'm tired now, hopefully what I types up there made some sort of sense. Wish me luck with this campaign!
