In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer).
Unquestionably, the activity I have been most involved in is student government. It was not uncommon for me to stay after school for four or five hours to plan fundraisers and other functions. It has been a tremendous investment, but my peers chose me for the task, and I try my hardest not to let them down. Being class president is also a learning process. For instance, I was entirely committed to the idea of a chocolate-themed prom, and fought hard for it, but my peers disagreed, and in the end we chose a different theme. Naturally, I was disappointed, but I learned that no matter how much I disagree with an idea, I cannot let that keep me from contributing all I can to its success. What a success it was, too; my classmates and I managed to organize the largest, most expensive prom in our school's history.
