Katharyn Stong's speech given in her run for her high school's Junior Class Vice President
A couple of months ago, one of my best friends, Melissa, was admitted into the hospital for a heart condition. It turned into things much worse, leading to pain, sorrow, grief and emptiness for friends, family, and classmates. This situation has really been a “Shock to the Heart”. At first I felt lost, empty and distant from God. But as time has gone on and I have seen the strength that her family has portrayed and I fell now that God has given me strength to live my life with more compassion and strength than before. And that is why I stand before you today. And although I have always been interested in leadership, I feel stronger than last year; I feel I can lead a school to a great JSB.(prom) I feel happier, more connected to this school because I have seen the unification of my friends as they support me with Mel’s situation. I want to continue to bring that unification to this school, to the next junior class. I promise that I will do my best, that I’ll give you a great JSB with the help of my classmates, I feel this is where I belong. So please, vote for me, a passionate girl who wants to contribute to this school, to the students, to you. I am ready to serve the class of 2010. I have grown a lot since Mel was first admitted into the hospital: in faith, friendship, and community. I know I can serve you well.
