Hi guys! My name is Sanina and I\u2019m an incoming freshman at Hunter College. I\u2019m from Brooklyn and I plan on majoring in behavioral neuroscience. Outside of academics, I love spending time with my friends and exploring the city!<\/p>\n
My experience and skills:
\nThroughout high school, I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone through leadership and community involvement. These are some of my most meaningful experiences.<\/p>\n
I served as a Senior Representative on the student council, where I sat in meetings with our principal and other faculty, advocating for nearly 3,000 students. I also helped organize meetings centered on promoting school spirit, community, and diversity.<\/p>\n
I was also President and Secretary of my school\u2019s Muslim Student Association, where I led meetings, coordinated with my advisors and fellow leadership in curating fun and engaging lessons and events. I also helped strengthen our outreach in collaboration with other MSA\u2019s and even Princeton.<\/p>\n
I was also Vice President of Mock Trial, where I collaborated with my team and attorneys in analyzing courtroom strategies. This allowed us to advance to regional rounds.<\/p>\n
Additionally, through volunteering and interning at my local hospital, I was able to work alongside healthcare professionals and help communicating with patients, including translations when necessary.<\/p>\n
Why I want your vote:
\nI entered high school extremely hesitant and shy. By putting myself into leadership positions that placed me in the spotlight, I learned how to become confident, not only for myself, but for others who may struggle to speak up as well. <\/p>\n
Student councils place an emphasis on being a strong representative, a good listener, dependable, empathetic, and an advocate. I believe I am all of these qualities and beyond. I would do my absolute best to hear your concerns, ideas, and suggestions, and see them through.<\/p>\n
Whether it means advocating for student needs, bringing forward new ideas, or helping plan fun and inclusive events, I want to make sure Macaulay Scholars Council is a platform and community where everyone has a voice.<\/p>\n
