Posters proclaiming a candidate was the best choice for the school polluted the hallways. Stickers could be found on every students’ shirt, and some could be found lying dejectedly on the floor. At any time of the day, at least one senior student could be seen desperately following junior students- oblivious to the implications of the election- and trying to prove how they were the best choice for the school. In the end it came to the speeches. The candidates voice thundered through the hall as they related to the students and shared experiences many could relate to. The confidence shown while delivering speeches largely determined the results of the election a week before the election. The teachers and junior students breathed a sigh of relief after election day. Two stressful weeks, packed with speeches, class visits and rigorous decision-making The emotion shown regarding the results of the election was seen to be very similar to those regarding the real election. I feel like the TNS elections helped many students get a glimpse at how elections are all over the world. It helped both the students and the candidates gain a real-life experience. Along with education, I feel like exposure to real- life situations is integral to character development and must be promoted in every way possible to create well rounded individuals. The following are the results of the elections. Head Boy: Shayan Ali Head Girl: Mishael Hayat Deputy Head Boy: Zarvaan Ahsan Deputy Head Girl: Jihan Khan Event Representative: Mehak Rehan Deputy Event Representative: Ashar Guman Dragon
