#4 Selflessness, humility and leadership

I think that doing something for the school, is a possitive gesture, either big or small, that helps the school out one way or another. This could be something that makes the school cleaner like picking up garbage and setting an example,to oginizing an event that gets many students involved in a positive way. I think doing something for the school is a positive thing. When you do something for the school, you are not just coming to the school, going to class, then going home, you instead are involving yourself in someway that helps the school out. People that play on the sports teams, and make our sports teams look good, people who are involved in clubs, and inhancing school spirit, those who are on student council, or those who participate in games, come up with ideas, and those who raise money along side others are all doing something for the school in my opinion.
I do not think that i evaluate myself above others in the school. I believe we are all there for the same reason, and should all respect one another to make school fun and go by fast! There are only 3-4 years difference max with students in the school, and if you look at the big picture, that is not a lot of years! I think everyone is equal whether they are students, or people in society. I don't evaluate myself above otheres, and I dont think anyone else should either.
I am proud of how i have served the school so far. I have been a very positive student, and have tried to involve my self as much as I can. I go to sporting events, dances, and am involved various clubs around the school. Even in the hallways.  I know i can do a lot more to serve the school, and i think I should push myself to do more. I think I can do more, and serve the school even better.
I have tried  to do the best I can for others in the school, and i try not to let things hold me back. I have a very busy life, and am always on the go, so I do have trouble involving myself. I think if i was less busy, i would be able to do my best to do things for others, because I would be able to devote more time, and focus more on that. I still think i help others, but i would be able to try harder, and do my best to help others rather then think more about helping others.
I think Mike was right when he said "We should give them respect because they are new and we already have things figured out". I think that we should give gr.9's respect. We were in their boat when we started grade 9, and all of us went through what they are going through. I believe everyone in the school desearves respect, not only the grade 9's, but i do think we should show the grade 9's that we do respect them, and hopefully they will feel more comfortable. I think that they reserve respect, they have done nothing to us that would make us disrespect them. They arn't much younger then us, so i think people should look at the big picture, and respect everyone.
