2. How did you rise up to your position and how can a student aspiring the same, approach it?
In my case, I was elected as Class representative by our HOD based on my punctuality and regular attendance along with good class performance. But for those who are aspiring to be class representative must remember that All the students in the class have the right to vote and to choose the position of class representative, so if anyone feel like it, he only have to present his candidacy and convince his classmates that he will be good representative.

Almost every youth are capable of being leaders at some point and place in their lives. This does not mean that everyone will assume a leadership position, but rather that the possibility is there.
