Moanalua High School Student Association: 2/12: CAMPAIGN RALLY SHORT, NOT SO SWEET!

LEADERSHIP: IT'S NOT ABOUT REWARDS; IT'S DOING WHAT IS RIGHT EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE ACKNOWLEDGES YOU!

2022 MOANALUA HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (above) The Moanalua High School Executive Council is made up of fifteen volunteers. VOLUNTEERS! While officers are elected, they choose to run knowing that if they win, there is no physical reward, no letter grade, no incentive other than the pure satisfaction of doing a good job and representing the student body. At times, we achieve great success while at other times, we achieve somewhat less, but it is always a learning process. While we can take away much satisfaction from doing a good job, we can also learn from mistakes and try to better ourselves the next time. And so, at the end of our terms, while we do not earn a credit, a letter grade or even a certificate of achievement proving our accomplishments, we can take away the self-satisfaction in knowing that we did our best for the students, school and community, and that positive experience is something we can really use as contributing adult members of society.

2/12: CAMPAIGN RALLY SHORT, NOT SO SWEET!

Each year, the SA Campaign Rally is only 25 minutes long, mostly because candidates are in short supply. This year, there were only seven candidates for only five offices (eight available). Worse, a couple of the speeches were only a few seconds long. This is an unfortunate trend that hopefully will improve next year but for this year, pickings are slim, and at least three officers will be appointed. Hopefully, this will not affect the quality of activities next school year!
