Hi everyone!!! I am Ruby Perez Ortega. I am a 17 year old Pisces sun, Aries moon, Capricorn rising (for those who wonder) and am the only child of my home! My passions include reading fiction (currently reading The Hunger Games :p) , the speech and debate team I co - captain, my non-profit called The School of Life, and traveling! The best place I've visited so far is Boston! I can also say that I'm quite a spiritual person and have a hobby of doing tarot readings! While I'm not quite sure where life will take me, I have a deep interest in studying English, which is my current major, along with philosophy. My goal is to become an influential person who can help make systematic changes and spark progressive conversation within our society!!
Side note: if you're curious my favorite foods are mango, mole, and ramen!!! AND FOLLOW @rubyperezo4vp PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Leadership Qualities
scroll to find out more about my goals!One of my strongest leadership qualities is my ability to speak in front of a big group of people. I've been in speech and debate since 7th grade, and because of how much I've been able to compete, I've been able to harness the confidence to use my voice loudly and proudly! My public speaking skills have helped me lead the MCHS Speech Team for the past year and I've also used this talent to lead ASB chants during assemblies and performances!
As much as I believe its important for someone to know how to use their voice and lead a group of people, one of my strongest qualities is being able to be a team player. I am capable of listening, empathizing, and working with multiple people and multiple opinions. I am a people person who is willing to collaborate and succed at a task with a team.
As the ENFP personality type I am, I strive to be and am a positive person. While I can offer a lot of constructive criticism, I am an optimistic person that takes the time to find helpful solutions through positive reinforcement. My own personal philosophy revolves around thoughts, I believe that positive thoughts and actions will make a positive atmosphere, and I believe that is one of my greatest qualities that will help with this role.
My goal would be to make the 2023-2024 school year the most spirited one yet. I really believe that the High School experience is an important one and I would do everything in my power to cater to the student body's school spirit. As Vice President I would push for the following:
MORE STUDENT OUTREACH for each grade level. I think google forms that take in each grade levels experiences and feedback for each dance/spirit week would be great to implement in order to accurately service enjoyable experiences to our school!
GRADE LEVEL activities that could focus on helping people socialize within their grade and create a comfortable vibe within our school.
PRESIDENTIAL SUPPORT and connection. I would be extremely honored to be the person supporting the elected president and also be the bridge between students and student body government.
My ASB History
keep scrolling :DI only joined ASB this past year, however, I was accepted into ASB my sophomore year. Scheduling conflicts I had did not allow me to take the class sophomore year :( but I always showed interest in this activity and a passion for student body government!!
Since my joining I've worked hard as a Club Liason and have organized club rushes, helped club leaders start clubs, and have helped organize the 8th grade tours.
I've attended and helped set up dances and am very active in decision making when it comes down to dance themes. I make sure to participate as much as possible when it comes to ASB events! #lovemakingpostersforASB #loveASBsummercamp
My School Spirit
almost done :pI love to do spirit weeks and dressing up and representing our school and all that we do!
I am a great supporter of the wizard lifestyle and strive to live my full high school wizard experience, which is why I went all out for my Halloween costume for the Halloween dance.
I also loved to represent our school during the summer leadership camp ASB participates in. I took on the role as chant leader last time (which was actually terrifying but really fun) and I also took on that role during our first assembly of the year. Point is I love shouting my school spirit from the rooftops!
