The members of the ASB are connected and cooperated with each other, and the division of labor is orderly. It is a place full of vitality and passion, and a big stage to show oneself and exercise ability. For students, ASB is a stage of youth, shining with the light of unity and wisdom. Here, they not only have the opportunity to participate in various colorful activities, but also improve their organizational skills, communication skills and teamwork spirit.
On September 23, 2024, at the CAS event of SHBS, all teachers and students of the school gathered in the auditorium to welcome the ASB recruitment activity. This election is not only a stage for our students to show themselves, but also a competition of wisdom and courage. The performances of the candidates on and off the stage are impressive, which fully reflects the positive and fearless style of Hongrun Boyuan students!
In Hongrun Boyuan, if you want to run for the Student Union, you need to have the following qualities:
• Enthusiastic, responsible, and willing to serve your classmates.
• Have certain organizational skills and teamwork spirit.
• Have ideas and creativity, and be able to bring new vitality to the Student Union.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the backstage of the auditorium was already a busy scene. The candidates gathered together, some holding the speech manuscripts and reciting the lines silently; some stood in front of the mirror, adjusting their expressions and demeanor. Although they were smiling, their clenched hands and slightly trembling voices revealed their inner nervousness. For many students, this was the first time to stand on such a big stage, facing the eyes of the teachers and students of the whole school, and their uneasiness and expectations were intertwined.
In the backstage, Mr. Wang from the Student Affairs Office cheered for the candidates like a "guardian". He carefully tidied up the appearance of each student, sometimes leaned over to help a boy tie a tie; sometimes patted the girls on the shoulders and reminded them to relax and breathe. Mr. Wang encouraged softly: "Believe in yourself, you can do it." These warm words seemed to give each candidate infinite power, and the nervous mood gradually calmed down.
"I still remember that at this time last year, we were all sitting in the audience, practicing our speeches over and over again, nervous and anxious. After a year of experience, all the ministers and we are working hard to achieve the goals set at the beginning of the semester and continue to grow. The student union is a responsibility, a pressure, an honor, and an infinite possibility. Today, 30 candidates will bring us their campaign speeches, which will last for 1.5 minutes." Former student union president Zhao and Feng, as the hosts of this event, said with emotion, "Please cherish your precious right to vote, respect every speech, and vote for the candidate you are most satisfied with; and candidates, we also believe that your courage to stand on this stage will also be the ticket to start a new journey."
In this way, the exciting student union election kicked off!
As the host announced the official start of the election, the candidates took turns to go on stage to deliver their campaign speeches. They seemed to have changed on the stage. The nervous expressions were replaced by confident smiles, and the slightly trembling voices became firm and powerful. They used fluent language and sincere emotions to explain their love and vision for the work of the student union, as well as their clear plans for future work. Students running for various departments of ASB showed themselves in a full spirit and introduced their past and experience of participating in ASB or the colorful social practices they had participated in before.
What impressed the crowd most was the energetic 11th grader Lucas. As a new student, he was not at all shy and gave a concise self-introduction in a humorous and natural tone, allowing everybody to understand his hobbies and love for life behind his student identity; by introducing many previous school’s activities, we learned how he heartened everyone around him with enthusiasm. At this moment, he seemed to be the leader who could lead everyone to create miracles, making people full of expectations for the future!
At the end of the event, Principal Liu said, "It is particularly difficult to make a decision, the children are all so outstanding."
Among dozens of competitors, who will finally stand out and lead everyone to create a future together?
