Senior Class President Speech. COMMENTS?

Hey Guys, I'm running for Senior Class president on tuesday. Just wanted to see what you guys though of the speech. Cheesy? Boring? Fun? Let me know:


Good Morning Senior Class of 2007. I’m Chris Mecca running for your Senior Class President. I think it’s obvious to say that after 12 long years of school everyone is excited for our senior year to finally arrive. Just think, in the next few months you will be spending countless hours filling out college applications and trying to make a decision on where your life will continue after high school. And although these times will go by fast, we still need to stand back and make the most out of our senior year. Between Homecoming and Spirit Week, Senior Week, Prom, Baccalaureate and of course Graduation we need to make sure that we make our senior the best year we’ve ever had. At our time here at Cave Spring we’ve seen three senior classes graduate and move on from Cave Spring. While I agree that each three of these classes have had there share of senior fun, I don’t think that there years will even begin to compare to the awesome year we’re about to endure. I’m all about making sure that when you graduate from Cave Spring that you look back on your senior year being the most memorable year of your high school career. In just eight months we will be walking across the stage receiving our High School diplomas, but before we get there let’s make our senior year the greatest year Cave Spring High School has ever seen. So vote for me, Chris Mecca, for Senior Class President: Making our senior year the BEST it can be!

I don’t think that there years will even begin to compare to the awesome year we’re about to endure.

I don't know if it was your intent or not, but endure to me is a negative word. Of course, I think school is negative, but I don't know if that was the way you meant to use it.

Great work!

That sounds a lot better! I hope you win. I think the world would be a better place if there were more BWWers in power.

---

I agree! Thanks!!!!

how big is your class?

at my high school (seniors class was small, less than 200)our speeches weren't as formal because we all knew each other. It just sounds impersonal in comparison.

---

The whole school is made up of 850 students with close to 220 in the senior class.

Im not gonna lie, im kinda nervous about the elections. I think I have a pretty good shot, but living in the bible belt you always have those kids that hate the gays. While there isn't that much hatred at my school towards me, you never know how high students are going to think!

Once my election posters went up in the hall wall I heard two kids say, "Oh that stupid fag, Chris Mecca is running for president. Who the hell does he think he is. Does he think people are actually going to vote for him."

Those kids were also the bottom of the barrel rednecks which is not by any means the majority of my school.

But I guess we'll see

Scratch my idea perhaps? I go to a rather liberal school in NYC... it's people that you mentioned that make me think twice about applying to Emory.

Best of luck, and kick ass... spark the audience's interest!

so, um your platform is "making this year the best ever?"
er, how do you intend on doing that?

that's the first thing people will ask......

and the word "obviously" makes anyone not seeing the obvious feel stupid, and you lose a vote

---

And there was much rejoicing from the stalkers...

On a less serious note, Chris Mecca from Cave Spring High School... You do realize that as Senior Class president you will have the responsibility of planning class reunions for the rest of your life. It's a committment that sometimes comes with the job, and one that shouldn't be taken lightly.

---

Yes, I do understand that responsibility, and I think it would be a fun one at that!!!

Elphaba, your avatar makes me laugh!

ON TOPIC: good luck with your speech. Here's an idea!
I'm asuming you're having a prom, no? Well, why not say what you plan to do to make that prom really stand out, or how you'll make it special. Take things that you know will happen this year and spice 'em up!
Now maybe this is a direction you don't want to go, but since you sort of brought it up, why not mention something about how you want to add an air of tolerance to your school? If you show them that you can be a role model with somehting to offer, than you're 99% there!

Also, I commend you on not letting those kids commenst get to you. Already you're a better person than they'll ever be.
Good luck!
