We shared our ideas with others and made sure everyone was respected and we found the best ideas together. In the end, the art festival was a big success. Later, we had more activities! We all did our part to make sure each event worked well. During a bake sale, for example, we were divided into three groups. One group took care of the sales. Another baked all the treats. And my group took care of promoting the sale! We raised a lot of money for a charity, and everyone was proud to be a part of the team. During student council meetings, we work together, but it's not always easy to reach an agreement that satisfies everyone. The students in the council are from many different cultures. We hold different ideas, wear different clothes, and even speak different languages. But we are all friends, so we communicate and try hard to understand each other.
