“If everything was perfect... We wouldn’t be needed anymore” this was mentioned by someone in one of the conferences by Students United, and when they said it, I felt like it stuck my heart (this was the point where I realized what I care about). I want to help students and advocate for them so that they can serve as a better Human Resource to the society. I also think that, there’s a hidden potential in every person, if guided in the right direction, it would encourage them to reach the heights that they never thought about. I want to be the person who can help others by encouraging them and working for them towards their growth. I have always said that “You can help people, at any level and wherever you are.” Students United is that “Where” for me. In other words, Students United would be a platform for me to reach out to the students and the authorities and act as a liaison for the Students, by advocating for them.
If I run as the Vice Chair, I would work for the Students issues, focus on the creating a friendly environment around the campuses and making sure all the student voices are being heard. I would encourage inclusion of Diversity and equality among them. I have been able to accomplish it on a campus level and plan to do that on the higher level. I also plan to make sure to be flexible and prepared for the situation like the pandemic that is happening right now, and make sure the students and people I would work for are safe. I genuinely feel like if I run as the Vice State Chair, I would put all my soul and energy into it and make sure all the issues are addressed and all the student Voices are heard.
I believe in working and growing together, if I get elected for this position, I will ensure I would address all the issues and make sure to complete the projects undertaken, and which are achievable. Furthermore, laying a groundwork for the future projects for the board, so that they are also addressed.
To conclude, I would just say I love working for the students and making sure their voices are being heard. I will give all my attention and effort to this position and will give the best I can.
