Campaign Analysis
What was your favorite part of preparing for your campaign ?
Making my goals ! I really enjoyed coming up with new ideas to bring to the table for the role of Second Vice President !
What was your favorite campaign event ?
Meet the Candidates ! I love talking to people and I found that I could use this event to showcase all my ideas that I couldn ' t explain for long enough in my speech ! Speeches are shorter than you think , so it was great to be able to go more in depth about my platform !
What do you think was the strongest part of your campaign ?
I think my goals were creative and showed that I would be able to bring something new to the role while doing the job well .
What in your campaign would you have done differently ?
I wish that I had come up more concrete examples of Spirit and Service ideas to showcase during my campaign . I had examples of what I had done in the past , but I think my platform would have been stronger if I had given more thought to what new service and spirit themes I would do .
What tips do you have for speeches ?
Breathe ! Speeches can be scary but I promise that all the people in the audience are rooting for you ! Nerves can get the best of me , but I always find that taking a deep breath at the podium before I begin a speech helped me to clear my head of most of my nerves !
What ’ s one suggestion you have for candidates running for your office ?
Be creative !! 2VPs are given lots of choices in their term . So set yourself apart by showcasing your creative side ! The sky is your limit !!!
