Soooo you may have remembered that I was hoping to do student council next year? I changed my mind. Let me tell you why.

At my  high school, student council is divided into four sub-groups lead by the three executive officers- president, vice president, and secretary- and are as follows (in order of importance and involvement): class representatives, spirit committee, activities committee, and video committee. The committee members apply for positions and are selected by the executive officers. I was hoping to join video committee, what with my plans of producing movies and studying film making in college I need to get as much experience as I can. This year, however, they decided to remove video committee from student council and took its biggest responsibilities and stuck them with the much less qualified spirit committee.

 Video committee has been traditionally a smaller committee, so it's a little understandable why it was removed and placed off in the back, but it still plays an integral role in the school and should not have been separated. It's also true that this year was very lackluster as far as videos go, especially in comparison to last year. Let me demonstrate:
                                                                         This Year...

aaaand last year...

So it's really clear that this year's committee done goofed, but because they are losing the small amount of talent that they have they are only going to get worse and worse next year and in the years to come.........
