Candidate Statement: I believe I would be an excellent candidate for Vice President Internal because of my leadership experience, strong communication skills, and dedication to supporting students. Throughout my time at UCSD, I’ve worked hard to make our school a better place by getting involved in different activities and helping out where I can. My role as a Mental Health and Well-Being Representative has especially prepared me for this position, as it has taught me the importance of listening to others, being supportive, and working to improve the overall student experience.
As a Mental Health and Well-Being Representative, I’ve learned how crucial it is to make sure every student feels heard and supported. I’ve helped bring attention to mental health issues, organized events to raise awareness, and made sure students knew where to go if they needed help. This experience has helped me develop strong communication skills, empathy, and the ability to work well with others. These are skills that are important for the Vice President Internal role. I understand that, just like mental health, the well-being of our school community is something that needs attention and care, and I am passionate about making sure all students feel safe and included.
In addition to my work as a representative, I’ve been involved in organizing school events and working with student groups. These experiences have helped me learn how to plan, manage time, and collaborate with others. I am very organized and can handle multiple tasks at once, which is essential for keeping everything running smoothly as Vice President Internal. I also know how important it is to communicate clearly and to keep everyone involved and informed.
If I am elected as Vice President Internal, I will use my skills to make sure student groups and clubs work together effectively. I will help make sure that every student feels represented and that there is always a clear line of communication between students and the administration. I am dedicated to making sure our school is a positive place for everyone, and I believe my experience in mental health advocacy and leadership will help me make a real difference.
I’m excited about the opportunity to serve our school and make it a place where all students feel heard, supported, and able to succeed.
