Speech for Class President
Presidential Campaign Speech

In every school election, people will make long speeches about how they are qualified to be president of their grade. In middle school, I had to sit through speech upon speech as people I'd never vote for tried to sway my opinion, and I realized, I should be president, because everyone else is just boring. I never think about what might come about because of my actions, because I feel it's best to live in the present. As Albert Einstein once said, "I never think of the future, it comes soon enough." He also said "Before God we are all equally wise—and equally foolish." Another Einstein quote is "imagination is more important than knowledge…" I especially like this quote because I'm not the brightest kid around, but my imagination is unlimited. Just the other day I had a dream that I was president, and almost choked on a pretzel. Throughout a boring school day, I often imagine rainbows and unicorns dancing around the teachers' heads, singing merrily about dandelions. I also am very introspective about life. Just the other day, I was sitting at home wondering, "Can deaf people burp?" I also believe in freedom and the rights of the student. One of my favorite quotes is from the movie Braveheart, "They may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom!" As has been said multiple times by famous anonymous people, "Many a boomerang does not return, but chooses freedom instead." I will get to know the people just as Jesus did, and I will represent you to the my best ability. "Blessed are the students!" The road to making this school a better place will be long and boring, but I think I can manage it. You can trust me, for I am trustworthy. If I wasn't, then you can't trust me. Think about it, if I was two-faced, would I be wearing this one? One more Einstein quote, "If I had known, I would've been a locksmith." After listening to my extremely banal speech, I feel you should all get a treat, I will preach to you now from

    I am not running for class president because I have a bigger baseball card collection than the other candidates -- which I do -- but because I am a patriot and I love my class in a totally non-cootie related way. We were once the greatest class in the entire school, and we still are because the principal looks down on us and smiles. He loves our class, I love our class and we are crazy awesome, so keep that in mind while I now explain why we suck so hard.…

    Good evening everyone; teachers, faculty, family, friends, and the Walkerville graduating class of 2008! Wow. This day arrived so quickly – this final high school farewell seemed so distant, but it snuck up on us before we knew it. School is tricky like that; one hour and fifteen minutes can feel as long as “”, while the end of the school year can come around as fast as “Brandon Holland running the 200 meter dash. The other three years went by quickly, but none accelerated as much as this final school year. And what an amazing time it has been, Walkerville – from grade nine to now, the experiences have been unforgettable, and small wonder, considering how incredible this school is and the amazing students that make up this graduating class. There is no other school like Walkerville. it is the best high school in Windsor Essex county. Walkerville is in its own class altogether - When I look at this graduating class, I see a group of outstanding young adults. I see so much respect, acceptance, and just all around an extremely classy group of guys and gals. The talent here, especially in this senior year is phenomenal. This senior student body is made up of simply amazing actors, athletes, artists, dancers, writers, photographers, singers, really smart people, and musicians. But at Walkerville, the talent never stops at one category. To just name a few, athletes take art and dance classes, dancers play bassoon, artists sing, musicians participate in extreme stunts such as the four man piggyback, swimmers play piano, businessmen play broomball, historians write toxic love poems, and if you’re a male dancer, then you’re a hero in general. Moreover, this graduating class is a stellar example of how extraordinary ability can be combined with good character and school spirit. This senior year has constantly shown love for their school, simply by getting involved in any way possible. Helping out at events such as frosh day…

    As I consider the road that is ahead of me, I am thrilled with excitement and eager to explore the many opportunities that lay ahead of me. Most of all, I am passionate about the structure of my future classroom and objectives I plan to tackle in my future career. I feel I owe my students the best possible upbringing and education. They deserve a stimulating and supportive environment that brings out the best in them. I want to encourage my students to broaden their imaginations and reach for goals they considered unattainable. I will strive to instill morals in my students and encourage them to treat each other and their community with respect and understanding. My students will be my primary responsibility - their needs will be placed before my own and their development will be my priority.…

    I truly take pride in being able to address this body of students today, not only have you all taken the leap into gaining a college education from a great educational institution like UGA but you have also decided to find time between your rigorous students to advocate for democratic values through participating in groups like the Young Democrats. In addition you have made the decision to align yourself with students who advocate for alliances for freedom of expression and protecting individual liberties through your school’s Gay Straight Alliance. It is not by chance that I am addressing this body of students because your city, state and country need your leadership, guidance and involvement in ensuring we stay on path that is inclusive of all people, a country where governments work for all people and a democratic party that looks to its young people as the future.…

    First, I would like to share my thoughts about the nature of humans. I agree with Plato and Socrates when they say that most human beings are not alike and are therefore sorted into groups, however I do not feel it is my job to sort learners into groups. I do believe it is a part of my job to be an objective, encouraging teacher and that the learners should be viewed as dynamic, diverse and reflective. I champion learning that is relevant, respects differences, advances social justice and expands global and community awareness.…

    Your lives will be better when I become president because I say so (Begging the Question). Observing the scenery within this room I can see that my opponent that guy with the weird, fake, duck face will not have a chance becoming president. All his ideas are not even great because he is a real life visual of Donald Duck (Ad Hominem). My opponent claims, “I will make America great again.”. He thinks that by saying this people are going to be swarming and falling to their knees whenever they see him. However, my grandfather has a better chance in becoming president of the United states than my opponent because this opponent here has the appearance and mindset of a rich kid who believes he is better than anyone (Ad Hominem). In addition, by supporting this election of mine, every one is taking part in helping out shelter animals the majority of money that is collected throughout the presendidenty years when I’m elected will go to help animals in need or on the verge of…

    I have spent all my primary years attending Gomathy and have enjoyed every moment of it. I would like to become the new school vice-captain of Gomathy to ensure that this school stays as great as it is for at least two more years that I am attending this school and many years after I leave. I would therefore also try my very best to make it even better. I also think that I would make a good school vice-captain because I will be responsible, organized, and thoughtful, enjoy helping people and a good team worker. I will stride to follow all school characteristics, Honesty, Responsibility, Consideration, Co-operation and Respect and of course follow all school rules. I will also gladly listen to everyone’s ideas and try my best to enforce them. As there are new students constantly coming to this school throughout the year I know that they can be shy and uncertain about things or simply don’t know where things are so I would gladly greet and show them around the school to ensure that they never get lost and can make plenty of friends. I will also happily be anyone’s friend, whether they are new or old to this school. Some of you may think leadership is simple, just a piece of cake and anyone can do it. But, leadership is much more and it’s much harder. As Gandhi once said: “I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.”…
