(Please limit your response to 500 words or less.) | am interested in serving as the student representative for the Arts Commission during the terms of 2021-2023. I was introduced to the Arts Commission back in November when the current student representative had reached out to me to see if I was interested in taking the position, and ever since then | have attended meetings with the Arts Commission; furthernnore.^vir1ua||y shadowing" the current student representative. Upon these events 1 have had the opportunity to grasp the responsibilities of a student representative. Networking is an important aspect as the student representative is the bridge between the youth and the Arts Commission to distribute the arts. This opens the doors for new collaborations. When | was doing 8project, vv8h8dtooreatao poster for Black History Month. In order to make it authentic | reached out to the person | was interested in and conducted a successful interview. I have also contacted teachers and students at Foster High School, the school 1 am currently attending, in order to distribute opportunities or programs that would be beneficial. A student representative must also be open for new ideas and collaborations. During group projects at school, | always consider the ideas of my peers and try to make decisions that would include everyone. Furthermore, before the pandemic started 1 volunteered to help my class with the homecoming and winter posters, eventually taking initiative on the lettering, sketching, and coloring, while accepting feedback and support from my fellow classmates. Art has always been a prevalent force in my life and studies ranging from drawing illustrations to summarize a book in an English class, to creating animations explaining the processes of meiosis and mitosis, and to working on illustrations for a children's book with a friend. | aspire to get the community invo|vad, especially my fellow students of Tukwila. | know it is hard to find opportunities, and 1 want to be that person who presents the opportunity to them and guides them. During my time at Foster High School 1 have noticed the lack of clubs or student organizations, though this is not a club nor student organization, 1 would like to find a way to strengthen the student engagement and help boost their passions by sharing my love for art. | am aiways looking forward to improving myself and 1 respect everyone.
