<p>Hi, I am going to be a senior at an international school!
This year, I want to try out for class government as a member-at-large.
I know it does not sound as important as a president and other major roles but it is quite a challenge to an introvert like me.
Well, I am an Asian student who is one of the top at school academically, but quite an introvert and a bit of social recluse. I kinda have developed a phobia of a large group of people. But, I think it is time to change myself and get out of the comfort zone.
Although only two or three people apply to that position, I really want to know how to improve my chance of being elected! Any advice, please?</p>
<p>Read the first 176 pages of “The Game”.</p>
<p>Or, you could read “Hardball” by Chris Matthews. The first chapter could actually help you a lot. Connect to people on a personal level. Make them think that you truly care about their problems. Seem sympathetic and understanding.</p>
<p>tl;dr - Be fake.</p>
