When I was a teen, I was never really into the captain

Sarah Dessen
During my sophomore year at American University, I was elected president of the student body. At the same time, I was struggling with my identity and whether or not to come out as transgender.

Condoleezza Rice
I was in the drama club, and I was one of seven co-presidents of the student body. Students elected me; I don’t know why! There were only 330 kids in my high school, though, so it wasn’t a lot of kids to impress or reign over.
Nicholas Braun
My husband was working as principal of an urban transformation high school – the kind of public charter school determined to do whatever it takes to give its mostly minority, low-income student body the education they need and deserve to be successful in life.
Vanessa Diffenbaugh
By giving professors jobs for life, universities create a feeling of unanswerable power among too many. Tenured professors who are uninterested in serving the student body are less likely to respond favorably to criticism, and are more likely to feel the freedom to intimidate or harass those with opposing viewpoints.

Nicholas Braun
