I participated in my school’s Senate election debates, where I had the opportunity to present myself as a candidate and explain my ideas to the student community. At the beginning of the debate, I gave an introductory speech in which I talked about my motivation for running for the Senate and the changes I wanted to bring to Vilnius Lyceum.
After the introduction, I answered questions from students and other participants about my ideas, plans, and how I would approach different issues within the school. This required me to think carefully, communicate clearly, and respond to questions confidently, including ones I had not necessarily prepared for.
I believe participating in the debate was an important part of serving my school community because it gave students an opportunity to understand my ideas and decide who they wanted to represent them. It also encouraged me to listen to different perspectives and think more deeply about the responsibilities of being a Senate member.
LO7: Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions – I considered the responsibility of representing students and making promises that could benefit the school community.
