I’ve been involved with Class Council, ASG, and multiple different clubs on campus throughout my high school career, so I wanted the opportunity of being senior class officer to continue making a contribution and change at Irvington. Especially with Class Council this year, I realized that I have a lot of ideas that I want to be implemented in our final year. 

One goal I have is for senior year to be a lot more interactive. I feel like in past years, it’s been more like we do the planning for everyone, and people just attend the events. The planning process should involve a lot more people, not just Class Council. I want it to be tailored to what our class wants so that people genuinely look forward to it, and so that our events are not just repetition of every other year in the past. 

In terms of my leadership experience in school, I’m one of the bench/spirit heads within Class Council, a PR representative for ASG, Vietnamese Student Association cultural coordinator, and an IndoPak general manager. Outside of school, I have a lot of leadership through my dance school where I teach and I am also an event planner for a meditation center. I have a wide range of experience in leadership, and it’s something that I enjoy because I love working with other people. 

I’m excited to have three senior class officers next year. In the past, a lot of senior class officers have warned us about how much work it is and how overwhelming the workload is, especially on top of the senior year stress. I think having three class officers instead of two is a benefit in that sense because we can split up the work more efficiently. My other two class officers are also very competent people who both have amazing ideas. I’m really looking forward to working with them, and I think we’re gonna make a really good team. 

I’m most excited to plan prom because that’s the biggest event that people think of when they think of their senior year. It’s something that brings people nostalgia, and I want it to be memorable enough that they make lifelong memories that they will talk about even after they graduate. I want people to feel like their senior year was the best of the four years they had.
