hat you won’t often hear, and few will ever admit, is that being part of the Student Government is as much about leadership abilities and management skills as it is a vocation of the heart. It is as much about attending weekly meetings, creating assembly slides and reading countless emails, as it is about listening and having empathy. It is as much about thinking as it is about feeling. And if the thinking, feeling and listening worked together, they are an overwhelmingly powerful force indeed.

As the President of the Student Government, part of you carries the burden of leadership, worrying about making the right decisions and part of you carries the potential for leadership, dreaming about the right possibilities. During my years as part of the Student Government, I have been transformed - thanks to all of you. So many of you have made my journey at Concordian International School one of the most enriching experiences of my life. For that, I wish to thank you all. When I walk through the campus and observe our wonderful faculty, or visit their classrooms as they engage with the students, I see their hard work, their passion, and their love.
I would take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude towards one of our special faculty members that has been tirelessly supporting the Student Government over the past years: Mr. Eulalio Arcia. It is not easy juggling classwork, event deadlines, and administrative duties, yet you are unwavering about your commitment to the Student Government. And to our administrators, I want to express my sincere appreciation to your guidance and support, thank you for reminding us of our mission and giving us renewed purpose. As you read this, we will have a newly elected Student Government in place to continue advocating for student life and learning in high school. For all that we have done, there is more to be done. It has been one of my greatest privileges to work with you all and the time has come for us to part. On behalf of the High School Student Government of 2019-2020, I shall bid you farewell in hope of our next encounter. Thank you for everything. Ken, G12 President of Student Government
