In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The Student Government or Student Council at your school is the elected governing body that plans and executes programs that the school can benefit from in one way or another. Run for a position as early on as you can. If you’re elected, you’ll be seen participating in and helping to organize fundraisers, fun events, and more. This will also allow you to gain the experience you need to be an effective president later on. Most of the time, every grade level has a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, so don’t automatically start off running for the highest position available. Even if you get elected to be the treasurer or the secretary, it can help you to establish yourself in a leadership role and start climbing the ladder towards the presidency. Every school has their own unique process for electing students. Make sure to learn about application deadlines, obligatory paperwork, and any other requirements for running. You can get this information from the adults at the school who lead and oversee the student council. This will keep you from overlooking something and getting disqualified or appearing unprepared when you run for presidency. Most schools have a wide variety of club options from athletic teams (soccer, football, volleyball, etc.), to artistic clubs (chorus, dance, photography), and many others in between. Read through the list of different clubs that your school offers and attend two or three meetings of different clubs that involve something of interest to you. Additionally, make sure to attend all social events that your school holds, such as prom. Consistently participating in these after school activities will allow you to get to know students who you may not have normally crossed paths with.
Summary: Run for a student council position early. Run for smaller positions first. Familiarize yourself with the rules. Join clubs and participate in school functions.

Q: Before you attempt to file for non-profit status and make your church official, it's best to establish a somewhat sizable and united fellowship of people with similar beliefs to undergo the process together. Start talking with like-minded people and getting together on a regular basis. The IRS requires you to have three founding members who are not related by blood or marriage. You can establish a church at varying levels and the better you define your aims for the church, the easier it will be to establish your tax-exempt status. Establishing a ministry, for example, is somewhat different than forming a corporately structured church, housed in its own building.  Consider:   Your possible membership. How many do you reasonably expect?  Your location. Where will you worship?  Your commitment. Will this be a part-time job, or a full-time calling?  Your financial aims. Will your church collect funds? How? How much will be necessary? Why are you starting a church? What core beliefs will govern your ministry? What distinguishes your church in terms of doctrine and creed? These are questions to take up in a statement of belief. Think of this as the "Declaration of Independence" for your church.  To form a religious organization, you need to also establish a series of bylaws by which your organization will be governed. Think of this as the rule book for your church's operations. Will you perform weddings and funerals? Under what protocol? What community outreach programs will your church participate in?  Sample outlines of bylaws are available online that you can use and modify for your purposes. You'll need corporate officers, a board of directors, and a membership to file for incorporation with the state. Make sure ahead of time you've got willing participants to fulfill the various procedural and accounting roles necessary to make a church run smoothly. These roles will be different than church staff. You don't necessarily need to think about janitorial and secretarial roles just yet, but make sure you've got some idea of the board of directors, visiting and youth ministry, music, and fundraising. The decision-making players need to be in place before you move forward. A commonly overlooked step. Give some thought to naming your church something distinctive, unique, and descriptive of your niche in the ministry. Also make sure you're not repeating a commonly-used name.
A: Start a home spiritual discussion group. Define the scope of the church. Draft church bylaws and a statement of belief. Assign corporate officers. Name your church.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Lacking an understanding of your personal values is like going on a trip without a GPS or a map of any kind. Values help us navigate through different circumstances, so that we lead a life that is personally fulfilling. To figure out some of your personal values, answer the following:  Which individuals have your greatest respect? What traits do they hold that you admire and why? If your home were on fire (any people and animals are already considered safe), what 3 objects would you save and why? What moments in your life were incredibly satisfying? What about the moment made you feel satisfied? After you have narrowed down a short list of important values, you must develop  S.M.A.R.T goals that support these values. Once you have developed goals that allow you to live out your values, do one thing that lets you move toward these goals daily. S.M.A.R.T. goals are:  Specific - clearly answer the "who, what, when, where, which, and why" Measurable - outline how you will assess your progress towards the goal Attainable - able to be achieved with the resources, skills, and abilities you have Realistic - the goal provides a challenge but also represents an objective that you are both willing and able to meet Timely - the determined time-frame must be feasible, while including some urgency The most common mental barriers to getting things done are often what we are telling ourselves on a daily basis. If asked why you haven't reached a particular goal, your response is because all the variables are not perfectly in place. These are excuses and you must remove them from the equation in order to achieve your goals.  Remove excuses by getting serious with yourself. Whatever you are using as an excuse is probably just a way to protect yourself from having to change. Setting SMART goals should help you to alleviate some of your excuses. For others, such as not having time, money, or resources, closely examine your life to determine what you can afford to cut out. Remove an insignificant activity or cost to prioritize a significant one. Don't wait until all the variables fall magically into place. Purposefully change your life so that it supports you reaching your goals.

SUMMARY:
Identify your values and beliefs. Set goals that align with your personal values. Eliminate excuses.
