*******************************************
Your biggest problem in Student Council may be controlling yourself. Your ideas, your beliefs, your emotions, your likes and dislikes, the things that compose your personality in general could inevitably conflict with both your duty as a Student Council officer and with the personalities of those with whom you come in contact. To the person in your position, the greatest advice I can offer is simply - be patient. This involves a great deal of will power, for at the same time as you are trying to eliminate snap judgments, anger, and extreme sensitivity from your daily actions, you must also continue to be assertive and dedicated in order that your Student Council might reach the goals it has set for itself. Between patience, dedication, and a little help from your friends, you can't help but go a long way!
