"Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind" - Orwell.

My greatest contribution to the region...wow.  I would say my greatest achievement would be winning Citizen of the Month last year.  Every time I interact with someone here that I helped welcome or that requests a mentor, I feel like my hard work pays off and it's all worth it.  I'm not in it for the titles or the fame, I just love this community and want it to grow. 

I believe I have an excellent ability to bridge divides and to bring people of opposing viewpoints closer to a compromise or acceptable resolution.  People skills are still necessary, even when you aren't communicating face to face.  I also love to think outside the box, explore creative solutions to problems.  No task is too ambitious or risky.  I'll try anything.  I'll also dedicate stupid amounts of time into projects that I'm passionate about - to the detriment of homework and other assignments, but grades don't matter so it's all good.

I followed the convention closely, and my inactivity there wasn't because I wasn't around, but more so I was content with observing the process and taking note of the progress we were making.  As a member of government, I expected to be involved or impacted in some way with the implementation of whatever system we came up with, so I suppose you could say I was waiting my turn.  By running for a seat this term, I'm announcing my intention to get more personally involved in this process.

-Grades do matter. They impact your job, your education, and in the long run, your life
-What counts as a "stupid" amount of time? Is there a difference? What is the line between passionate and foolish?
-I can respect your intentions, but they seem rather vague to me. How will you do x, y, and z?
-Type of breeze, please. I prefer a slow, tropical one...

About grades - that's a quote from.my professor. In my specific career field, GPA is not actually important. My campus focuses on experiential learning and hands on activities.

What constitutes a "stupid" amount of time is relative to the project. My point in that area is to say that I'll go the extra mile and I refuse to cut corners on any project. I would rather not start something than do it half-assed.

To be quite honest, my assurances are vague at this point, since it's hard to judge exactly where we should be headed next. The constitutional convention is an ongoing process and it will dominate my attention this term, if I'm elected. My first post outlines some more of my intentions for the term in better detail.

"Tropical" is not in the vocabulary, unfortunately. Point Breeze enjoys a humid subtropical climate, akin to the UK/Ireland or SW Canada.

If you get elected, do we get cupcakes?
This is important, trust me.

I can do scones...
