West best leader for campus
By Editorial Board, April 16, 2010
A good leader needs to know how to prioritize when put into difficult situations. So when it comes to the Student Congress elections, there’s one candidate who stands out.
“My whole life has been revolved around God, my family and my school, and then right after that will be Student Congress,” Sam West, sophomore candidate for Student Congress president, said Thursday during The Franklin’s Student Congress Debate.
The Franklin officially endorses West for Student Congress president.
West is finishing his second year on Student Congress. He currently serves as the Honors and Budgets chairman. He has been on the judicial board twice and has served on several committees such as campus improvement and budget.
Both candidates are very qualified, but what set West apart from his opponent, Brooke Gilbert, was what he wanted his legacy to be. He said he didn’t care if people remembered his name; he just wanted Franklin College to be a better place.
Ultimately, that’s what we want out a of Student Congress president. We want someone who will make positive changes on campus and help to improve the quality of student life in whatever way possible.
West said his major obstacle would be changing Student Congress from within. By accomplishing this, he said he could effectively help make the campus better.
West truly knows what he is up against. He realizes that this will not be an easy task for him to undertake, but he has a clear understanding of what needs to be done, and he understands he needs to put Student Congress before other activities if elected.
These qualities are what make West the best candidate for Student Congress president.
