Only Benefits or Work in the Student Council? By Laura Pellerová.

22.06.2011

During the year, the Student Council met every Wednesday after seventh hour in class 6. They wanted to solve problems and create some activities for us.

 When you want to get a place in the Student Council, your classmates must vote for you. Every class has one person who should go to meetings and one of us is our president. He works with the director. We always made some activities like movie night or garden party. But when we chose a new president, everything was wrong. We did not have meetings so the Student Council has fallen to pieces.

 People who are in the Student Council must not be shy, but they must be brave. They cannot be afraid of speaking to groups of people. Sometimes it is hard and maybe it is the hardest thing. And I want to be honest, so I will say that people in the Student Council do not get many benefits. They have only lots of work. We create activities, then we have to tell it them the Director. She could say yes or no in terms of doing the activity. If she says yes, we have to tell all the classes everything about the activity. And then we have to do everything that is important for that activity.

 I liked the meetings because we grew closer to our schoolmates and we created something good for them. But I did not like it when we had very long meetings and we did not solve any problems.

The Student Council has not been here very long. Perhaps 5 years.

The Student Council does a lot of good things for us, but sometimes students do not agree with them. Lots of people never think about how it is when the Student Council was creating activities for them.
