4. What innovative ideas or goals do you have for <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>? What plan of action would<br />

you take to see your goal achieved.<br />

I have many ideas for <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>, many of which that include the help and involvement<br />

of the students. <strong>Marian</strong> does a lot to help the needy in Omaha. I feel this is very important and would love<br />

for <strong>Marian</strong> to do even more to help our community, through fundraisers, donations, etc. In order to have<br />

success in these activities, you need the support of the students. I also would like for students to become<br />

aware of where their donations are going. In most fundraisers, whether they be for your church,<br />

neighborhood, grade school, or <strong>Marian</strong>, not a lot of background information is given about where your<br />

money, hand-me-downs, or canned green beans are going. I think people would be inspired to give more<br />

if they knew their food was going to Veterans from Iraq, or last year’s sweater was going to orphans in<br />

need. I think for a lot of people, donations are nothing more than canned foods in the cardboard box at the<br />

front of a classroom or church. They are not provided with information of where their donations are<br />

going, and who is benefiting from them. The benefits of donating to school fundraisers go far beyond a<br />

dress down day or reduced admission to a dance. Donating changes lives. I don’t think people recognize<br />

this. I think it should be a goal of <strong>Marian</strong>’s to make students more aware of who and what they are<br />

helping.<br />

5. What activities have you been involved in at <strong>Marian</strong> that will assist you in being a strong and<br />

able leader in student government?<br />

The activities that I’m involved in at <strong>Marian</strong> that I believe will assist me in being a good leader<br />

for student government include speech, recruitment team, and being on student government. I believe<br />

these will help me because in speech I learn how to talk to and in front of people, as well as how to<br />

become just a more sophisticated person in general. In recruitment team I learn a lot of information about<br />

the school that I wouldn’t know otherwise. I also gained experience working with other <strong>Marian</strong> girls.<br />

Being a class officer last year will strengthen my ability to serve and lead the class because I understand<br />

what needs to be done to be a good class officer and I know how to motivate the class. I also know how to<br />

work well with a group.
