Sport Speech

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Taylor McCormick, and here today I am running for the role of School Captain, SRC president and SRC secretary. I stand here in front of you all today; being braver and bolder and more debonair than ever before. I would like to thank the school for giving me this great opportunity. This is my chance to prove that I have capacity to be your schools leader. Having experienced a leadership role before in primary school, I know what it’s like to have such a heavy burden to uphold. When I wear my school uniform, I wear it with pride. When I see someone in trouble I help out as best I can. When I see rubbish on the ground I pick it up. When teacher tells me to do my work I do it. I know I can be this schools prized leader. I treat this school the same way I treat friends and family; with dignity, respect and caring heart. Being a leader isn’t just about being an outspoken character that gets noticed, it’s about all the other little qualities. Words like hard working, dedicated, persistent, enthusiastic and confident; these are all extremely important aspects in becoming a good leader. But I can promise that I will try my very best to organise fun things that you students and teachers like.

I like to lend a helping hand in the classroom and the library whenever I can. If you’re ever feeling lonely or sad, remember, you can always come to me and I will try my very best to cheer you up. I am a trustworthy and honest student, who is well respected amongst all my teachers and peers. It’s these three qualities that are valued the most – all good leaders possess them. I am confident and will often set my mind on a goal – and commit myself to achieving it. The challenge of leadership is hard but you have to be strong, nor rude; be kind, but be bold, be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor and most of all have fun. Leaders become great, not because of their power but because of their ability to empower others. As a leader, I am tough on myself and I raise the standard for everybody; however, I am very caring because I want people to excel at what they are doing so that they can aspire to be leaders in the future. A leader is someone who willing to sacrifice their own life for the protection of others. The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things.
