Attending the Student Council State Convention last year was definitely the highlight of my junior year. Although I belonged to the small number of non-exec Stuco members going on the trip and was initially very hesitant to spend half the week with people I didn’t know that well, it only took a few hours to feel accepted into Consol’s StuCo family. Since our council decided to run for State office on the C.A.R.E. week platform, our StuCo State experience started long before the convention itself. With daily workdays cutting ribbons, organizing bracelets, and practicing our skit, we were bonded and ready for State. The convention itself was a unique and wonderful experience. Consol campaigned for State Secretary among 4500 Student Council members from around the State. The other students were so energetic and respectful and willing to listen to what we had to say. We spent the most time with our own council, but everyone had made several acquaintances. Our school had an awesome poster presentation and a very influential skit to present to TASC and I just felt so proud to be a part of AMC StuCo. The most amazing part of the whole experience was our last large assembly where we won the State Secretary position. We did it!
