1) The definition of empowerment is the ability to be confident and kind with yourself and your action.

2) As a leader I have been empowered this year by being confident in our assemblies, being more considerate to others, and giving out some ideas and interacting in meetings.

3) Before the end of the year, I want to be more inclusive to others and help create fun events where everyone can be included and happy.

1) My definition for empowerment is gaining power in the way of a leader and not using the authority or power as a bad way. I think this power that is gained by  an individual should be used to help and contribute to the society or environment that they are in.

2)
a. I empowered this year by being able to share my ideas with the rest of StuCO unlike last year when I was scared to share my ideas in the fear that I might be ignored.
b. I empowered by making better decisions than last year. I make better friendship decisions and also academic decisions too.
c. I also empowered in the term of socialising because last year, I was scared to talk with other people outside of my comfort zone but now, as a leader, I try to talk with a lot of people.

3) Before the end of the year, I want to make the events exciting for the students and get them included (everyone included) since I think the past months of the year, there were some limits to the contributors that we chose from.

My definition of empowerment is understanding yourself as a person by going through challenges and experience

I got to have alot of new experiences (planning events, considering opinions of minorities, gaining control when everything is chaotic,<how to do stuff on the last second> etc), and these experiences although they were really hard and messed up at the time all became good background for me to further advance. For me the experience of gaining control in chaos was really important, it was kind of forced upon me because if we didn't complete the social until the students came, we were dead, but

1)Empowerment is the process of a person getting stronger and more confident as time pass and they become more experienced.

2)As a stuco member this year, I have learned to become empowered by experiencing how to lead a group of students/people, not giving up when things were hard or bad, and being able to stand up for myself when something didn't go the way I wanted. The socials were a great experience for me because I was able to learn how to run a event by myself which showed me how to deal with lots of different kinds of students at KIS.

3)I want to be able to include everyone in activities such as games, advisory activities, and lunch. I hope by the end of the year, there won't be any students eating alone in the cafeteria.

1. What is your definition of empowerment?

I think empowerment means to do good things as a leader. I also think that it means to be strong and confident in your actions and things you do and to make a change in.

2. How have you been empowered this year in StuCo and as a leader (give at least 3 examples)?

I think i've empowered this year by leading others and correcting them when they make mistakes. I've also was confident when showing my ideas and thoughts to others. Lastly, when people we're having problems with each other, I always try my best to solve the problem and help them.

3. What actions do you want to accomplish before the end of the year?

It might be difficult, but I want to make people that don't speak Korean or other languages comfortable and included. I see students upset or excluded when other students speak another language, and I hope to make a change in that.

1) Empowerment is developing myself to be more confident in my actions and what I do.
2) I have been empowered in Stuco to be more thoughtful of our society through the global citizenship project, to be more thoughtful of others and cooperate better though planning assemblies together, and to be responsible for my initiatives and to take action through planning socials and various projects.
3) I want to have more empowerment by the end of the year, and make the socials that are left successful and a good memory to all.

# data[].attributes.body
1) My definition of empowerment is to inspire others to do great things for themselves and to the environment around them.

2) I have been empowered in StuCo to be more enthusiastic, organised and not ashamed of making mistakes. Especially when we do announcements, the execs should make the announcements as fun as possible, while organised the same time. Other than that during assemblies, I sometimes forget what I have to say, so I have to be able to improvise.

3) Personally, I've always dreamed of making an Instagram account to empower everyone's lives, whether it's sharing quotes or even inspirational stories. I hope I can make this dream possible and empower all the people around me.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of empowerment is giving power and bravery to someone.
I have been empowered as the executive to not only lead the StuCo but to also lead the  whole middle school by example. For example, at assemblies I say opening and closing statements,
I do announcements everyday, and at socials I hold the mic in front of everyone.
I wish to end this year off strong, by being a successful leader in the Summa Sizzla, Lock In, and the transition ceremony.

# data[].attributes.body
I think empowerment is the ability to lead others to the right and a positive way. I was empowered as a leader in StuCo from: 1.Learning how to become a leaders from the veterans, helping out students who are new to our environment, and making videos for during committee time that contains upright morals for other students.

# data[].attributes.body
Empowerment to me is knowing that you've tried to reach your highest potential to become your best self. It is also using that knowledge to push even further, and help others do this too.
How have you been empowered this year in StuCo and as a leader?
1. I learned that the decisions I make change the way others view me, and StuCo taught me to make good decisions that will be a help to everybody

2. I realized that, as a leader, I should stand up and advocate for myself. I learned this year that if I speak up, theres a chance I can get what I need.

What is your definition of Empowerment?
Since I volunteered to join StuCo and was voted in, I believe Empowerment tells me to use the power I receive as an 8th grade officer in a meaningful and positive way.

How have you been empowered this year in StuCo and as a leader  (give at least 3 examples)?
Throughout the process of becoming a leader, I was able to gain confidence and show this. This year, I was able to step up and do an action (which I believe can do much more) that was needed for Student Council. I honestly think I spent a lot of free time working on StuCo stuff that wasn't aimed to me to be my job (StuCo dance, Candy wrapping, Grad. Ceremony Vid.).

What actions do you want to accomplish before the end of the year?
Before the school year ends, I have one most important job I want to succeed. Continue working as a StuCo member as the beginning, or even harder. Some may lose their thought of staying as a StuCo member, however I want to remain the same until this year ends. It's better if I continue to act so even if I am not part of StuCo, but just till the end. I don't want to lose the mind of a leader until the very last day.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think empowerment means being confident in what you do.
2. As a leader in Stuco, I think I was empowered this year because first, I got over being embarrassed doing any kind public work in front of others, and second, this goes for everyone in stuco, but this year when we didn't sell many tickets for socials, stuco members did not give up easily and continued to promote the social. Lastly, I think I was empowered this year because I am not afraid to say what's on my mind and my opinions. Before I was careful with my words, and didn't share my opinions as much. I still try to be careful with my words but I always try to devote my ideas too.
3. Before the year ends, I want to accomplish raising more money for next year's stuco, and end the year with a successful summer social(?)

What is your definition of Empowerment?

My definition for empowerment is me  growing as a student leader.

How have you been empowered this year in StuCo and as a leader  (give at least 3 examples)?

I think I have empowered this year as a leader by handling unexpected problems. We had work left before most of the socials. I learned how to not panic and work faster. I also learned to satisfy and make decisions that will please all the students. I learned to include new friends to my group.

What actions do you want to accomplish before the end of the year?

I want to work at my best for my job, the summer social, and be successful, because I think the other socials before weren't as successful.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of empowerment is being a role model to lower grade or younger student to follow you as a leader or in a good act. It is also challenging myself to be a better leader. I have been empowered this year as a leader by cleaning up trash, achieving new ideas for the creative videos committee, and being persistent when selling tickets for socials. I was also scared for talking to higher grade students and 7th and 8th graders but it became ok as I went through many different assemblies in public talking (Not really public) but still in front of a lot of audience. I want to be a good role model and organizer in the Summer social which I am in the socials committee. StuCo was a great way for me to achieve many different goals. Thank You.

My definition of empowerment is me becoming more stronger and confident by having more experience in what I do.
As a StuCo member this year, I have deficiently been empowered. At first, I was very hesitant about the actions I made as a StuCo member but now, I think I have gained more confidence. Also, I at first felt the pressure of being a part of StuCo but now, I am enjoying the pressure which I think I have developed as a member of the team. At the beginning of the year, I was worried about making videos and podcasts but I have noticed that if I try my best, I will not have to worry about the outcomes.
Until the end of the year, I want to make sure I want to always stay as a positive role model for the students at our school!

Empowerment is when we encourage others to reach their full potential

I have been empowered this year from various people.
1. My friends: My friends helped me out becoming a StuoC leader by reminding myself that I should be a role model
2. StuCo members:
StuCo members helped each other out to become a leader.
3. My past:
I often compared my self to the past and got empowered.

I want to change the school culture and make the majority happy about StuCo events.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of empowerment is to develop as a human and achieve greater things and support others
1. I decided to take on a greater role than I usually would pick as the school mascot and representing our school(events&pep rally)
2. I chose to participate in arguments people had and tried to solve them because I would usually pass by them or ignore people. I became maturer as a person and a student.
3.  I participated in more Stuco discussions and work than last year.  I would lead my friends and guide them to success with all the power I have and tried my best to be acknowledged as a leader from the entire school and Stuco.

1. Building people up even when they fall down, and making yourself be stronger even when the world is trying to hurt you then still work to be the best you can

2. I have given my friend courage and helped them thought tough times or times when they don't know who they are. Even when people in my life turned out to be diffrent and unlike anyone I have ever met I still would always in a heart beat stay by their side

3. have one last amazing assembly and have a fun last couple weeks at KIS and in stuco here and to have a blast at the summer social
