How to Win a High School Election
If you plan on running for student office, you want to know how to win a high school election. 36 You need to consider the following key elements (要素) of an election.
■Learn About Your School.
Before you can be an official for your class, you will need to know about your class and the school as a whole. You can’t make a difference if you don^ t know what to change. 37 .
■Get involved (参与) before winning the election.
If you want to make changes to some of the rules in the school’s policy, you’ll have to get official support of the school. Ask to join in on meetings with school officials. It’s also a good idea to get to know some of the parents of the students who will vote for you. You can do this by attending PTA meetings. 38 Ask questions and voice your opinion so you stand out.
■Get to know your voters.
39 And try to make good first impressions on them. Be careful though, you don’t want to seem fake (假装的) because then people won’t vote for you. Simply say hello and let people know you are running for whatever office you choose. If they seem interested in you, continue the conversation, if not, back off. Being pushy is another thing that will lose you votes.
