Political Science, International Studies I could just list off a plethora of vague reasons as to why you should vote for me but let's cut it
the chase. I simply want to represent your voice in an organization that's made for you, the student body. My passion doesn't come without experience. Student Senate encompasses handling student finances, and I've served as numerous clubs' treasurers. I'm familiar with parliamentary procedure and drafting legislation through a key club lieutenant governor and being a Girl's State representative. I'm running because I love my jayhawk family, and I promise to represent your voice equally and appreciate each walk of life.

Political Science, Spanish Charles de Gaule once said, "In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant." I don't want to simply "pose as a servant," but instead truly serve. That's what attracts me most to politics; I believe that government ought to (and can) be responsible to its peoples' needs. I'd appreciate the opportunity to serve.

I hope you will consider me!

"Commuting is okay," Hobson said. "I don't like spending that much time driving because I feel like I could be doing something better with my time, but that commute is time for me to think and have 'me' time."
Along with the positives, such as saving money and being with family, negatives are sure to follow. Not only is commuting an inconvenient gas guzzer, but when it comes to group projects and evening exams, these can lead to problems.
