HERE IT IS:
Good morning/afternoon my fellow North Torontonians. First, I’d like to thank you all coming to this election assembly, and actually staying awake, while we’re all reading our speeches. In case you haven’t already met me, my name is Phyllis and I am the best qualified candidate for JVP. But before I get into the issues about my position, and my credentials and the stuff you’d find boring, I’d just like to quickly reflect on one of my first anecdotes at this school. I remember my buddy talking about the amazing French fries at the café and how smart the students here were. (And I can’t lie, he was right) But one thing that’ll never escape my memory was watching that Student Council video. As intimidating as Bjorn, Emily, Geoff, James, or Savanah, and the others made it, I was still definitely attracted to the position of JVP and being a member of the student council. But no, it’s not because I like hiding in closets! (Don’t worry Savanah, mine’s on the 3rd floor) It’s because JVP’s get to really help out a lot during Charity Week, raise money, assist the Senior Vice President, and become an important member of the student Council. In fact, one of my New Year’s Resolutions last year was to create a club or committee to help fundraise for charities. But, I soon realized that that wouldn’t be necessary since we already have Charity Week.
Although JVP is a relatively small position, there are still many issues and ideas to be discussed. I can’t promise raising ,000, or more late starts, or more field trips, but I can promise you (this may sound a little cliché) that I will put forth my absolute best when it comes to Charity Week. If this means pulling all-nighters, skipping my lunches, or using every last muscle of my fatigued body to help, whatever it takes, I’ll do it. Give it to me; I’m up for the challenge!
Now, considering that there are 4 other people running for this spot, I’ve come up with “brill” iant ideas that will win your votes! As a girl with loads of business connections, I’ll try to get sponsors and donors to help contribute to the money raised during Charity Week. And with your vote, I’ll even try to get NT on TV! TV coverage will unquestionably spark up some new supporters (especially with next year being the last year here in this building). In addition to that, I’ll work to see if articles can be written about NT’s Charity Week in popular newspapers! Not to mention, help out the Senior VP with his/her ideas! And my goal is to raise at least ,000 (though I can’t exactly promise that). Well, as quoted by Nelson Mandela himself, “We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right!”
And if you must know a little more about me, here it is. In school, I was active on 3 teams (field hockey, ice hockey, and soccer). Plus, I participated in 5 clubs (cauta, cooking, crafts, outers and archery). Outside of school, I play rep ice hockey, train provincial taekwondo, teach kids taekwondo and volunteer at 2 senior homes. As well as assist the Class Reps during Charity Week. Though these extra-curriculars may not seem all relevant, I have gained valuable leadership skills while participating in these activities.
Anyways, enough about me! I honestly hope you think twice before you cast your vote for the wrong person. It is not wise to vote a candidate based on their popularity or movie-star good looks. Choose the candidate who you, not your friends, but you believe will show the most hard work, creativity, dedication, initiative, and ambition as JVP. So please, reconsider my plans before you vote for any other candidate! Now, before I go hiding in my closet, just remember this: Don’t be ridiculous, vote for Phyllis! Thank you!
