I am very interested in this opportunity as I am seeking ways to better serve my community on a larger scale as well as make a positive impact in the hearts of community members.

I wanted to be an ambassador to make a difference in my community and try to communicate the perspectives of students in my school!

I’m interested in this opportunity because it is important for students’ voices and opinions to be heard by the adults in our community. Adults call the shots and make the rules but don’t have to live by them because ultimately they affect us students. I see this opportunity as a way to share my experiences and spread awareness of the racial issues in our school system to be addressed. I see these issues as a barrier for students of color because this discourages them from even going to school or wanting to continue their education. My ultimate hope for this opportunity would be to help inspire other students to grow and show them the possible pathways in life.

This opportunity interests me because I would be able to use mt voice for those who can’t or don’t know how.

This opportunity interests me because I have recently become fascinated with local government and the processes and actions that influence my daily life. I also recently watched a film about the history of black business in Asheville. I want to learn more about the economic state and advancements that can be made in the surrounding area.

Regarding my personal interest in this opportunity, it’s a chance for me to connect with new people who share similar aspirations and ambitions. Meeting fellow students, hearing their dreams, and exchanging ideas is incredibly inspiring to me. I believe that by working together as Student Ambassadors, we can create a supportive community where everyone’s voice is heard and valued.

I am interested in this opportunity as a way to expand my public speaking skills and to gain some communication experience as well. I believe that involving people in matters that directly affect them is extremely important. And I believe that with my experience as a high school student in the early college program that involves taking college classes I could provide a unique perspective. Also as previously stated I believe in doing things that might seem hard or are outside of my comfort zone. I think that this opportunity would definitely challenge me but that through this it will also encourage me to grow as a leader and communicator.

I am highly interested in this opportunity as I had the privilege of being an ambassador last semester. Moreover, it felt right; I was in the right place at the right time with the right people. With the people who will take the time and consideration and hear my voice. I want to pursue a career that will allow me to give back to my community as it has done for me. Being a part of this program again can set me up with more connections and help me advocate for improvements for the whole county. Since last semester, I have not stopped my commitment to community work. I have been actively volunteering through the Boys and Girls Club at St Gerard Home and with the elementary schools in my area as a LEAD Ambassador at North. The financial aid motivates me even more to seek this opportunity as it is a huge advantage to someone from a low-income household. I was also chosen as a Youth of the Year nominee as a result of my great community efforts. Influential figures such as the mayor and superintendent were present, only strengthening my community ties. Although I did not win Youth of the Year, I gained experience, which is most important to me. Once again, this opportunity would give me the invaluable experience I seek.

I took an interest in this opportunity because I see it as a pathway for me to use my voice, gain leadership, and communication skills to further help my community improve. Empowering youth voices is one of the most effective ways moving forward in improving the future. Ultimately youth voices should be heard because there is insight other generations might not have. The P20 Student Ambassador Program allows that to become a reality!

I am very interested in the opportunity. As I have said before I love leadership, it is one of my strongest passions that I work towards all the time. This opportunity to gain and refine my skills for leadership is one of the things I always keep my eyes out for. This would help me to grow and become the leader I want to become.

Up to this point in high school, I haven’t participated in many leadership-related events so I saw this opportunity as a chance for me to improve my leadership skills and potentially add this to my college resume once I graduate.

I am interested in this opportunity as I believe that it will allow me to grow as an individual. This opportunity will provide me with leadership skills that will be crucial in my future career plans, it will provide me with incite on being able to learn from a mentor. I want to be able to learn and grow and I think that this opportunity will do just that, by allowing me to meet with other people that share my same goals and ambitions, I think that it is crucial to be surrounded by other’s that share the same goals and ultimately want to succeed. As someone who wants to go into a healthcare profession I know that I must not only be a good leader but also be able to handle situation that are not ideal. Being able to learn form a mentor would be a great opportunity to see how they handle situation that have been through at them.One of the primary responsibilities of a leadership mentor is to serve as a guide for the mentee by sharing their experience rather than advice. This involves providing direction and offering insights based on their own experiences. Being able to learn from someone else’s experience is key for me as it will allow me to understand from a first hand point of view. Overall I think this opportunity would be really good for me, it would allow me to become a better leader, learn from someone else and ultimately grow as an individual

Because it will be my first extracurricular activity and it will help me get more involved with student life. I will be able to develop new skills in language and communication. It will allow me to interact with other students and learn from them. It will help me build my resume.

I am interested in this opportunity because not only do I have the chance to improve my knowledge of education and the workforce, but I also get the chance to participate in proactive conversations with individuals/students with the same passion and interest as I have.

As a future teacher, I think it is important for students voices to be heard when it comes to their education.

I didn’t know anyone who went to college so when I came in I had no clue what to expect. I ended up almost dropping out because I couldn’t afford it when I thought I could. I got lucky and got another good scholarship that allowed me to stay in school. I want to help those younger kids who don’t know anything about college so they can have a less stressful experience.

Before I was fully interested, this ambassadorship was recommended to me by a friend after a student government meeting. I was aware of its existence, having seen it posted in our Google Classroom of resources before, but I had not planned to apply until then. I think that this opportunity could be a great opportunity to address my anti-social shortcomings head-on, while also being something I can take pride in that I did after. The fact that it also helps my community furthers the feeling that it is something that I should try to do, as well.

I wanted to help make a difference in education by helping share what the students really think about their schools.

Because I want to work with other people and learn more about the workforce and be able to help others who may not be too informed about the workforce

I am interested in this opportunity because of the time to hear other students’ thoughts surrounding the hot topics of our time. I think it is incredibly valuable to take the time to listen to other’s, and I feel strongly that by doing so, I can become a better leader and citizen as a whole.

I wanted to become an ambassador because I was curious of how I could help North Carolina education become even better! I also want to gain some more experience in public speaking as well as professional networking.

I want to share my experiences as a student with especially unique experiences, as someone with disabilities and who is graduating early from an early college program. I’ll be 16 as I enter college with an associates degree, and I want to contribute that unusual learning with people who could really use that perspective.

I wanted to become an Ambassador to have a possible influence on any policy or decision that affects students and schools. I hope to have a greater understanding and appreciation for the work that goes into making these pivotal decisions after this experience.

I wanted to become a Student Ambassador because I thought it was a great way to share my voice and thoughts about what needed to change in education. I am a very outgoing person and I love having the ability to meet new people and learn new things. I hope to gain the knowledge of how to become a better leader and learn more about the obstacles that students in this area face so I can use that knowledge when I am a teacher later in life.

I aspire to be an Ambassador to amplify the voices of my Hispanic community in addressing educational challenges and advocating for women’s empowerment. Through this experience, I aim to enhance my professional skills, broaden my network, and contribute meaningfully to creating positive change.

I wanted to become an ambassador because I wanted to be an advocate for my school community and help make my voice and my classmates voices heard. I hope through this experience I can share students perspectives to make our school and futures more successful.

One of the main qualities that I hope to develop via this experience is leadership. I’ve had similar instances, such as being the student ambassador/tour guide for my school, and though those were valuable events I do not feel like there have been enough of these throughout the years to keep practicing. I also hope to leave an impact, by using these skills, on the educational system, since a major point of P20 as I’ve heard is working on improving its downsides.

I want to be an ambassador because my education is very important to me and I hope to impact our schools and help our rising students. With this, as a person who is very passionate about school, I feel as though I can bring my advice and discuss topic like these.

I love the community I am a part of as well as my school so anything I can do to build it up makes me feel very accomplished.

I joined to become an ambassador so I could share my veiw point with people who can truly help make a change. I joined to become an ambassador so my sister, who is a sophomore in high school, can have an easier time in the future following her dreams. I want this experience to be a learning point to see how other people feel, to learn what I can do to help, and to help others learn what my views are.

I want to have a voice because ultimately the decisions made affect me, the student. I also want to express my opinions on matters regarding our educational system.

I hope to be voice for adult students. What I hope to gain is the opportunity to share the voice of a black woman, mother, working adult, college student, and native of Asheville with commuity organizations to make a difference in the outcome students and the community.

I hope to learn from other students their experiences in their respective level of school and identify common problems that I can help eradicate in my school with the support of my teachers and principal and share my own experiences as well

I applied for this opportunity in order to gain experience as a representative of my fellow students. Our voices are important and should have a great impact on decisions made about education.

I want to become an ambassador because I think it is a great opportunity that enables me to advocate for people who were not given the opportunity. Furthermore, being in a group of engaged citizens and self directed learners, will add value to our community since we will think of ideas that can sustain our learning environment. In addition I will learn a valuable skill set that involves self-reflection and perseverance as well as collaboration.

I wanted to become an ambassador because I want to give feedback from a students’ perspective on education. I also found it to be a great way to network.

I have an interest in the political field and helping the community around me more. Something I hope to gain from this ambassador experience is to learn more about what goes on in the community around me from shared experiences and what solutions we can come up with.

I wanted to become an ambassador because I always want to use my voice to make sure that me and my peers are properly represented. Another reason I wanted to become an ambassador is because I saw it as an amazing opportunity to further explore and understand the ways I can work with others to make education as beneficial and helpful as possibly for everyone in this region.

I wanted to represent A-B Tech College because the school has inspired me to reach high for your goals and dreams. It is a wonderful campus with so much love and support. I am a non-traditional student so all this really helps me. I want to help the school send the message of education out to all.
