<p>As a Haas hopeful, I had many plans about what I would do while at my communtiy college. One of my goals was to be enrolled in Student Government during my frist year. I meet most of the committee months before I even enrolled in my first class. I asked them questions mostly about how I can join AS. Time came and I needed to get an appointment for an Interview for representative of finance, I expected to have time to prepare, but when I stopped by to ask if the president happened to call me he told me to do the interview now. I was unprepared and nervous, and there is five positions, finance being one of them, with over 40 people applying. I got the call that I did not make the cut and I was very reasonable about it, I thanked them and offered to help around when needed. Most of my friends just hung up the phone after they heard they didn’t make it. I still had hope, I promised that I would reapply as a senator next semester and that every thing would be okay, I also prayed to God for everything to be okay. This was over a month or two ago, and last week I got a call from the president for an interview, I did not know what the interview was for but I took the offer. Today I went to the interview and the president told me, “The senator of finance dropped out, so the rep of finance moved up, and we have a spot for you”. By this point I was flabbergasted and had the biggest smerk on my face. God answered me, the president told me that they chose me over the others because they saw the potential and motivation I had. I am now a part of my school, Im not just another student at my college, I am responsible to make my school a better place, and this is just a great opportunity for me to experience.</p>
<p>Moral of the story: never loose your hope and do not get down over something because even if it does not go as planned everything will be okay.</p>
<p>Anyone have any experience with student government to give me an insight of how it will be? I understand there is a lot of time devotion and I need some time taken from my life to be around people, I’ve been home too much! I also heard you make a lot of friends! A+</p>
