Hello my name is Mack Hatten and I am a junior and I am running for ASB president this next upcoming school year. My mission is to make this upcoming year one of the best and most memorable years yet at Decatur and to have an environment that is positive and inclusive to everyone. My plan as president for the next year is to make Decatur a school where everyone feels safe and welcomed. Making that environment for students & faculty will help Decatur connect to the community more by making it a place where it is okay to be yourself. I also want to make Decatur more spirited by doing more events that inspire the student body, like for example having a winter dance or a tolo, movie nights, field day, field trips, etc. But besides holding events …show more content…
That helps me being in my position because as the head of all the student body, I need to communicate with my other ASB counterparts but also voice opinions from the student body and be the voice to the faculty and district to let them know all the ideas and things our student body wants to do. Adding on, being vocal helps by spreading messages from Leadership to the Student Body if there is something coming up or if we need their feedback I can communicate with them to get the best possible decision. Another quality I have that I bring to the table is being able to listen as well. This helps me in the position of ASB President because as well as being vocal as the head of the school but I also know how to not be vocal all the time and just listen to others ideas and to get feedback and criticism openly. Furthermore, being able to listen I can understand the views of others and it gives me new perspectives and approaches on how to keep the school up & running as well as making the school year better. Finally one more quality I bring to ASB is that I am not afraid to ask for help if I need it. Having this quality helps by making it okay to be vulnerable and establishes trust between myself and leadership, myself and my other ASB counterparts, myself and faculty, and finally myself and the whole student body. Asking for help promotes cooperation between everyone & shows how important it is to not take it all on yourself and with all different parts especially for an event will help make everything better in the long
One of the Four Pillars that I enjoyed was Christian Camaraderie. Responding to our classmates and the encouragement of conversation allows for lifelong relationships. Being that
For example, I am able to ask teachers or counselors for help with coursework I have not fully grasped. I find it very comforting that I have help whenever I need with my schoolwork at Laguna Blanca. Likewise, playing on a team sport builds a great bond with other students at the school. I enjoy playing basketball and
I consider working as a member team, communication, active learning, and personal services to be some of my strongest assets I have to offer; while I find that I excel in relating to children and adapting to people in all environment. I am very committed to everything I do and will not stop until the job is done and done right. I believe that building relations with those I am working alongside is important for the success of any well run team.
My attitude to team members and students is marked by respect and courtesy, and I am prepared to exchange viewpoint and ideas with all. Moreover, I enjoy sharing resources and gladly
An integral part of improving and sustaining Morgan’s infrastructure and operating processes is creating an environment where students can comfortably voice their concerns and witness gradual changes. I will ensure students from all backgrounds recognize Morgan State University as their “home away from home” by holding informal Town Hall Meetings. These meetings will take place in different areas across campus that target different populations where students are surrounded by the Student Government Association and their peers. For example, immediately before or after Jummah Prayer on Friday’s at 1pm would be the perfect opportunity to have international students from Saudi Arabia voice their concerns. Students will have the ability to confidently share their opinions and complete surveys that outline their expectation of the university.
In order to give students the opportunity to create meaningful interactions with their peers, the campus offers a wide variety of clubs and highly encourages students to join at least one of many clubs in order to become more involved with extracurricular

The President has some control over us but not enough to ruin us as a nation. The President’s phrase is “Make America Great Again ”, we believe that he would use his power for good right?
In addition, I would ask teachers to participate in a door decorating competition to increase awareness of disabilities. To conclude, I would organize a pep rally to recognize the diverse special needs of our school population. Participants of the pep rally would include guest speakers and winners of the door decorating contest. This endeavor would broaden the perspective of fellow wolverines and others in the community, so they develop greater understanding for those with diverse
My commitments to joining these organizations build my confidence and motivation to coach and inspire others in the community to make an impact on students. Boys and Girls Clubs impacted my career on how to demonstrate leadership toward my teammates, and the students I serve daily such as me advocating and communicating for what students need and how to support them as a mentor to them to rely on challenging
For example, because my discourse is more of a family than a community it has taught me that: even though you will come across people that you don’t like or get along with you still need to treat them with respect. Also, that you will come across classes where you will have to work together, just like in stage crew and there is more than one way to get your work done. Secondly, when in groups or having to deal with other individuals, they are human beings and will be different from you. But you cannot let other students walk all over you; and if you need to talk to a teacher it has taught me how to be assertive in my needs and wants. Without this skill, school would be much more difficult because without communication skills, you will fail.
As president, I serve as the leader of the group and set an outstanding example for the younger students. I make executive decisions regarding music, uniforms, etc. As quartermaster, I have organized and labeled uniforms, kept uniform maintenance a priority, and assigned uniforms. As loadmaster, I have loaded, unloaded, and organized the trailer for football games. Orange and Black High School Newspaper
Every member who spoke had a good point or idea. I felt that I made a difference in my community by watching and participating in this board meeting. I typed many questions into the chat box, replied to a comment, and began to understand the board of education in a different way. I now know how hard the board works to ensure that students stay safe, learn as much as they can, and enjoy learning. I passed down much of this information to family members and watched it with them too.
I actively engage in open communication and establish regular channels for feedback and input. For example, I regularly meet with staff members through departmental meetings and seek their ideas and suggestions for improvement. I organize town hall meetings and parent forums to listen to their concerns and ideas. Additionally, I actively participate in community events and work closely with community organizations to build partnerships that benefit our schools. One successful collaboration I have been involved in was establishing a community volunteer program where local businesses and community members provided support for facility improvement projects.
One of them is filling Buckets by making the right choice. Like I said earlier, everyone has the choice to fill a bucket or to dip from one. It is all a choice of a person. I want leaders in ASB and everyone I can convince to help fill other’s buckets and make people’s days. Through making the right choice people can make people more optimistic and motivated.
