During my senior year, I decided to run for Senior Class officer. I was honored to win the position of Senior Class Vice President of Cibola High School, which was awesome. This position in Cibola's Senate and Student Body came with a lot of leadership and responsibilities. It came with hours of service, leadership, and dedication toward the community and Cibola. As Senior Vice President, I helped out the community in several ways. I worked with Seed2Need, cleaned parks and helped with a blood drive. Seed2Need is a place in Corrales, NM that grows crops and donates them to homeless shelters in need. I have attended all of the Seed2Needs projects that have been offered at Cibola for the past four years. During these projects, I helped prepare the soil for harvesting; planted tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants; and later in the year, harvested those fruits and vegetables. This had a huge impact on the community because we helped the farmers, who in turn helped those in need. Also in Senate, we cleaned the parks as a service project organized by the class officers. It was simply going around neighborhoods and picking up trash to keep the parks clean. Lastly, Cibola holds a blood drive every year to collect blood to donate to hospitals. This year I had the pleasure of helping run the blood drive at Cibola. I helped set up the stations and recruited students to donate. As Senior Vice President, I have also worked on several projects for my high school. I have been in charge of school assemblies, planned homecoming, planned spirit weeks, and also worked on "dude be nice" week. During the school assemblies, the class officers are in charge of creating a unique introduction geared towards the theme of the assembly, conducting spirit checks to create a fun-spirited and competitive environment between the four classes, and keeping the students involved by having them participate in fun class games. Another fun project the officers plan is Homecoming. We work on all aspects of the planning process from picking a theme, ordering the decorations, creating a reveal to announce the theme to the student body, and spending many hours decorating for the dance. I enjoy planning spirit weeks for the school. It involves a lot of preparation such as picking themes for each day, making posters to hang for each day, and getting the student body excited to participate in the week, My favorite project is the "dude be nice" week. The officers and senators work hard to organize fun and creative ways to make everyone around the school feel special for the day. We organize days for the student body to help clean up around the school, make cards for teachers and staff, and write thoughtful letter-grams for classmates. The officers also plan a breakfast bar for the student body and school staff. Being an officer for the school has given me so many opportunities to create a positive impact on the students, staff, and community. I am very glad I decided to run because it has given me the chance to create positive experiences for everyone at Cibola and the community surrounding the school. I am very thankful and proud of what I have accomplished this year as Senior Vice President and I hope it has created a very fun and positive outcome for the students and staff at Cibola High School.
