If you were to join the student council, that would not only be a fun way for you to speak your mind, but it would also benefit other students. If you're voted president of your school, your ideas could make it more fun for everyone. Other clubs besides the student council, can add things to your school as well. Things like murals, cool structures, and colorful signs are great things that can be brought to your school.
