Natalie, this speech is great! Very positive, touched on personal as well as public issues/concerns. You are obviously a very intelligent young woman! If I could offer any suggestions, it would maybe try to put forth the fact that you are very approachable, and are willing to bring all concerns to council, no matter its popularity. That you are there for ALL students, not just the most visible ones! In addition, it is best to thank/commend previous student bodies for their work (as well as future!), and present that each different student body works for the greater good…Ojai Valley School! The best of luck, Natalie!!!!
