Getting responsibility from peers is a lovely feeling. It shows that they have confidence on you to represent them. And my class chose someone who is a little quiet, but a listener at the same time. Or that's what I think they think of me. Except for one person who decided to say, before they voted the Class Rep, that we shouldn't vote someone who would stand in the corner behind the door and say nothing. Shows what he knows.
A good class rep has the capability to listen, take on board what has been said to them and relay the concerns to the Staff and heads of department. A Class Rep is also the line of communication between the Staff and Students. That link is there to make little changes to teh learning environment. Be it, a timetable on the doors of the computer labs or posting CA deadlines on the notice board. Small things which help everyone in a little way to make life easier.
In the Meetings time is given to each person, reasons and answers are given to the queries, discussion and improvements are written down with intention to correct them where possible. I now see the benefit of the Class Rep System. I dunno if it worked as well in the secondary school system, but it sounds like it works in Third Level...

- An ex-Leaving Cert student, thanks be to the man above, who believes that opportunity presents it for a reason. Who enjoys the little things in life, like a suggestive shadow, an occasional treat or even a mischievious misprint on a sign. A person who, at the beginning of this blog, is in the foggy region between secondary school and college running around blindy, arms flailing about and loving it. A person who can tend to blurt out statements without any bit of tact at all, and get away with it. And finally a person who thinks deeply about stuff and still doesn't get any further....
