Standing for student president! Please help me!

---

Hi guys,Tomorrow i have to give a speach why i feel i should be the president of our student union in college. I am shitting myself right now as i'm not too confident standing up infront of the whole college. I don't know what to say and i only have one and a half minutes to say it.All of my competition are better at public speaking and more popular than me. I really am not sure how to structure my speach, it needs to be short enough to catch attention, but long enough to cover the essentials. As the saying goes, just like a girls shorts.Please helpHawk

Hey Hawk.Isn't school out for the summer? Just wonderingI think you'll be fine. The others might be better at public speaking but you have the heart. If you just tell them what you think you can do for them and why they should vote for you,you should be fine.But as a side note... When I went to college, it was more of a popularity contest then an actual run for office. I voted for who my frineds we voting for because I didn't know any of them. If you could reach those students you'll win for sure. Just let it come from the heart, be honest and give it your best. That is all I would ask from any of you. I know this isn't much help. Sorry! Good luck. I'm sure you'll do fine

Cheers Roc,Well next week is our last week. So it will be the end of the first of 2 years in college. We will be electing for next years student executive.Thanks alot, i'll let you know how it goes.Hawk
