Even though he wanted to be president desperately, it was rather a challenge for him to vie against his very own friends. He fidgeted on his chair and explained that when he first won, he felt like he didn’t deserve his position as president. “I felt like they (his friends) wanted this more than I,” he voiced his thoughts.

Shaker admits that he needs confidence and encouraging friends by his side at all times.

Furthermore, he gave some advice to next year's president.

“First of all, thanks for taking my place,” Shaker joked, “seriously though, he or she should keep on trying until they get what they

want.”

Some of Shaker’s talents and interests include playing the guitar in his spare time. He’s been playing it for almost a year now. He also mentioned how remarkable the school is. The school's tough and comprehensive program is going to benefit him with a fruitful university experience. As he was getting prepared to leave, he expressed gratitude by saying," I’d like to thank the principal and my campaign for supporting me through all of this.”
