Help Refurbish My Paper

Everybody in one way or another strives to make an impact on the world. However, the majority of the people live in the thoughts that, for one to make a mark, you have to be someone from a higher caliber. For instance, being either a public figure or in power. One doesn't need to be in power to exhibit an impact on the world. Activities such as taking care of the environment do make a great impact.

During the final year of studying in high school, I had an aspiration to become the school president. The zeal towards this move was brought about because I strongly believed that, it was by being in power that I was going to make a significant mark on the school and in the universe as well. Since we were a lot of aspirants, I had to devise a move that was going to make me secure the post of school president

The campaign started and I worked tirelessly explaining to the people about my manifesto and with the aid of my campaign partners helping me distribute the campaign posters. It was indeed a difficult time for me having to deal with classwork and campaign issues bearing in mind that I was in my final year and the final exams are around the corner. This did not stop me and I vowed to fight like a wounded lion to secure the school president post. Luckily, I succeeded in the first round. The presidential aspirants were shortlisted to a number of three. I became the runners-up. This made me wonder if I was going to make it as the winner, but I did not despair.

The voting day that I was eagerly waiting for was finally here. I was indeed restless since I kept fidgeting. I decided to convince myself that whatever was going to happen if it was to be a win or a loss, I was going to be okay with it and it was then that I settled. The votes were cast and luckily, I emerged the winner with a landslide victory. I was very happy that I was to be the new President and my name was going to go down into the school history book. I thanked all the students for supporting me and my campaign partners. In my speech, I noted that I was going to deliver all that I wrote in my manifesto.

It was now time to deliver my promises. At a point, I sat down and thought about how I was interested in making a great impact on the world hence opted to be a school president. It dawned on me that it is not necessary to be in power to make a change in the world. The things that people think are minor are the ones that make a significant impact in the world. Activities such as; caring for the environment, mentoring young kids, volunteering in community cleaning, and helping the less fortunate in society goes a long way in making a mark on the world. Therefore, making a mark on the world starts at the grass-root level and for one to make a mark, it does not necessitate that they should be people of a higher caliber.
