not a leader

When it comes to high school, bluewatermelon, you are right. Unfortunately, it seems that most high school students run for office only to dress up their college apps. Often the advisors of clubs are who really do the work.

It takes far more leadership, creativity, and hard work to create a fundraiser or organize a successful membership drive or training program for new members than it takes to successfully run for office in many high school organizations.

Unfortunately, many students think that running for office is the goal instead of viewing it as only the beginning of a year long process of working hard to accomplish things to improve or strengthen the organization or community.
