So it sounds like you want to be appointed a leader in yearbook but you don’t want to take yearbook as an elective because it isn’t very important to you, and

since I have all these ideas, I sorta don’t wanna just give the ideas to ASB, especially the ASB president-to-be because she’s kinda my competition in school. I want credit for my ideas to improve the school so colleges can recognize me

it sounds like you want to be appointed a student government leader without making any valuable contributions before you are appointed.

So what do you actually want to do to become a leader? It seems like the leaders are drawn from the ranks of the enthusiastic participants, but you want to skip the participant stage at your new school.

I would identify an activity or two that you really are interested in and are able to prioritize being an active participant. If that leads to a leadership role, than that is great. You don’t need to have a certain job title to demonstrate leadership ability.
