In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

Tell your audience who you are, what class you are in, and why you are running for high school president. Use your “why” to set a theme for your speech. Keep your introduction simple and direct. Say, “Hello, everyone. My name is Jacob Easton. I’m a junior, and I want to be class president because we need a fresh vision for making Acme High a more welcoming and inclusive school.” In this example, your “why” statement starts a theme of inclusivity. Describe what you plan to do and how it will help everyone in your school. Focus on ways you and your classmates can work together to achieve these goals. Additionally, link the issues to the overall theme of your speech (and your campaign).  For instance, if you’re using the “inclusivity” theme, you might pledge to start an anti-bullying program and a peer mentoring club. You might say, "Together, we can make our school a better place for all students. If elected, I will work with all of you to create an anti-bullying club so that no student is afraid to come to school. Additionally, we will form a peer mentoring club to encourage students to guide others and act as a support system." Briefly discuss your past leadership positions, as well as ways you’ve shown you can be decisive. Incorporate things you’ve done for your school and community to support your argument. Similarly, explain ways you’ve shown you can be open to input.  If you’ve held other leadership positions, identify them and mention for each how you achieved something related to your overarching theme. If you haven’t held official leadership positions, identify life experiences in which you had to be both decisive and collaborative. You might say, “As president of the debate club, I’ve expanded club membership, worked with local lawyers to build a mentorship program, and acquired donations from local office supply stores so students have the materials they need for tournaments. If you elect me to be your president, I’ll bring the same type of leadership to the student government.” “Going negative” is rarely a winning strategy, especially in school elections. You don’t want to alienate the friends of your opponents or to seem mean. Explain your differences from your opponents by highlighting what you will do, not what they have done or not done. Use facts and avoid distorting the truth with negative speech. For instance: “While our current class leadership has done good work in reviving school spirit, I will dedicate myself to making sure all students feel the embrace of that spirit and have opportunities to shape it.” Summarize what you will do for your classmates, then thank them for their time. Finally, remind them of your name and ask for their vote.  Say, “Together, we can make our school inclusive for all. Thank you for your time this afternoon. I’m Jacob Easton, and I want your vote.” You might also decide to go with a catchy slogan, like, “Next Tuesday, ‘Get Awake and Vote for Jake!’”

Summary:
Introduce yourself simply and quickly. Explain the 2-3 major issues you’ll address as class president. Tell your classmates why you believe you’re qualified to be president. Explain how you're different from your opponents without attacking them. Close by asking your classmates to vote for you.
