I have been a member of my school’s student council for the majority of my schooling, driven by my passion for student representation and uplifting within my school. However, I didn’t fully understand the greater impact we could have on the community until I became a part of Enloe Charity Ball.
I started student council in middle school, and throughout my duration, we were not given much responsibility nor the opportunity to engage in outside collaboration. However, when I entered high school, I noticed a shift in my role and its associated responsibilities. I quickly learned that being part of Enloe student council meant being representative of not only my school, but also my community, and how issues within both are interwoven. Our involvement extends beyond making donations to include volunteering with organizations and directly supporting individuals. Enloe Charity Ball has helped me understand how I can utilize my position to effect direct change on a larger scale, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.
This motivation doesn’t stop within the student body branch, but it extends to the entire school, providing students with various opportunities to bond through tournament events. We host basketball, pickleball, chess, kickball, and even Clash tournaments, as well as supplying students with hot chocolate, donuts, and engaging in 2A war class competition, showcasing how we are constantly adapting to represent and fulfill student bodies’ interests.
