So I found out about this position within the city.
they select 13 people who have to fill out this random form.

I thought I’d Copy and Paste:

Name * What is your full name?

School * Are you currently enrolled in high school or in post-secondary studies? If so, where are you studying?

What are your interests? * Tell potential voters how you spend your time. Be sure to highlight your extracurriculars and volunteer experience!

Most of my interests lie within the academic settings, but I also have leisure activities, as well as many commitments. For example, one of my major commitments is at work; I work for Canadian Tire, working roughly 20 hours a week. I am also heavily involved within the King’s University College Student Council (KUCSC). I have sat as the Philosophy Representative on the KUCSC for 2 years, currently seeking a 3rd term. The position encompasses that also I sit on multiple standing committees, the areas that I actively engage in are revising constitutional, electoral, and ‘honourarium’ policies. In addition to my work within the KUCSC, I am also the president of the King’s Philosophy Students’ Association (KPSA). The Association is a networking club that ties undergraduate students with contemporary philosophy within a communal-like setting. I was vice president last year, and after re-structuring the association, I have become president this year. As I said, I do enjoy leisure activities, one in particular is martial arts; I have been going to my academy for over 10 years. The experience and discipline I have learned throughout my time there has been invaluable. I may go there to learn, but I am also expected to teach. Although my time is not allocated to karate right now, I am one of the black belt instructors at the school. Specifically, the orange belt to brown belt classes, with students between the ages of 8 - 13 is the general age group I instruct. Working hard through the spirit, mind, and body is a great way to tackle important tasks, and this method reflects all areas that I participate in.
I am also just like any other 22 year old, I enjoy the company of my friends, I enjoy listening to jazz, techno, and classic rock, and I have an affinity for reading philosophy.

What specific issues that impact London youth are you passionate about advocating while on the council? * Tell potential voters about your hopes and dreams for our city. What do you want to see happen here in the future? Why should people vote for you?

One of the biggest issues I think that London has is its disconnection within the downtown setting. Although I am limited in my knowledge for any further intensification of this topic, I think this problem is essential to finding the roots that make’s London, London. It is also an issue that is currently in the hands of the municipality, since the small business sector is crucial to London’s growth. Planning needs to be re-thought, and perhaps that means looking into areas that have not been looked into prior.
One issue is not necessarily from a youth perspective, but could be more understood as a person who has lived in London for a long time. Traffic congestion is a critical blow on gas consumption; perhaps alternatives should be formulated to deal with the high volume of traffic at peak hours. For example, longer left turning signals, more efficient timers for specific periods of the day, etc.
In addition, as a student, I think one of the most important aspects as a young adult is to inform students of their rights and responsibilities. Working within student politics will allow me to make that connection between the City of London and university students that much closer - at least I can make this connection stronger throughout King’s University College.
Lastly, I am also an interested member of the community. I want to know what is going on within this city, and I think it is really important to be engaged in a political way. To understand the minute connections within the city system allows one to not only understand the system and the intricacies withholding, but also entails asking important questions, to see if better alternatives or more accommodating solutions could be arranged. Being a student in philosophy has taught me not to take things for face value, to think critically about what is in front of me; this mindset would be helpful for strengthening this establishment with university students, for they are the future to aid in the growth of our city.

We’ll see.
If I get this, my vice president candidancy will be even easier to win.
