I went to college and realized I didn't have tools to make change. Running Start came and put on Elect Her, a daylong workshop for women who are thinking about running for office but don't really have the tools to do so. We talked about making your elevator pitch, public speaking, developing your platform-all the things that you need to do to become a successful politician. I took those tools and I ran for Student Body President, and I won!
