Mission statement

" I will use my ambition positively and assume a position of power where I will use my open-mindedness, rationality, optimism, honesty, trust, and intelligence to make a positive difference in many lives. I will keep a down to earth attitude and avoid being corrupted by sticking to my values and focusing on making other people's lives brighter rather than focusing on my own selfish desires. Most importantly I will make sure to always remember that my job as a leader is to serve."

What I most wish to gain is real world knowledge and experience. I can research and read all the books and articles concerning government and campaigns but none of it compares to actually working and being involved. I am hoping to learn about all the small, non-glamorous, tedious details that are left out of public knowledge. I will achieve that by doing more than just the bare minimum and making sure I stay focused all year on the job at hand. This will prepare me because I will learn what the job market is really like and what it takes to pursue a political career or any other career. I will also learn about the importance of human interactions and connections and how to professionally handle myself.
