Alexis: leans back, smirking G-gone. Ev-everyone who c-challenged me, expelled. W-what do you think, huh?
I’m still upset that you added my ex girlfriend without her permission
narrows eyes, defensive W-wha-what!? Are you saying I did something wrong!?
Yeah, remember how she ended up blocking you?
pauses, looking down Okay, fine! Maybe I crossed the line a little. But hey, look at me now! I'm the president!
crosses arms Can’t believe I voted for you
stands up abruptly, pointing a finger Y-you regret it, don't you? Well, too bad! I'm not gonna let anyone take away what I've worked so hard for!
Look Alexis, I know you’re tough. You always have been. But this isn’t about you anymore. This is about how your actions affect others. Do you really want to be responsible for ruining people’s lives?
grits teeth, voice trembling I-I... I didn't ask for your pity! I just wanted to show everyone who's boss, who's powerful! And look where it got me!
Look, Alexis, I get it. You want respect. You want to be feared. But this isn’t the way to do it.
voice cracking, tears welling up Respect? Fear? No! I want to be loved! I want to be accepted for who I am!
That’s what this is really about, isn’t it? You feel like people are always judging you. Like no one truly accepts you. walks closer I don’t blame them though. When you’re constantly trying to prove yourself, you start doing things that make others hate you
takes a deep breath, wiping away tears Y-yeah, maybe... maybe you're right. I just... I want to be loved, not feared.
I know you do, and those good intentions don’t excuse the actions you’ve taken though. What are you going to do about it?
sniffles, determined I'm going to change. I'm going to use my power for good, not for revenge.
Is that so? Interesting. Tell me more
stands up, straightens their tie I'll start by apologizing to everyone I've wronged.
Start with that girl you had suspended for defending herself?
nods, determined Yes, I'll apologize to her first. Then I'll reach out to others, make amends, and show them that I'm genuinely trying to be a better leader.
Alright, Alexis. I’m willing to give you a chance. But it’s not just about words. You need to prove it.
smiles, wiping away remaining tears Thank you, mvenomous. I won't let you down. I'll start working on it immediately.
Good. Start by fixing these issues with your students before I come back into your university
grabs a notebook and pen, starts jotting down ideas I'll conduct town hall meetings with students, listen to their concerns, and address them promptly.
Make sure you actually listen to them, okay? Don’t just say you’re listening while already having a solution in mind
nods, determined Absolutely! I'll create an open forum where students feel comfortable voicing their concerns and suggestions.
That’s great, Alexis. Now, how will you ensure that every student has an equal voice?
picks up a microphone, addresses the students Listen up, everyone! I'm committing to giving every single one of you a voice!
Good. Now, how will you make sure no one feels intimidated or threatened by you?
smiles warmly First, I'll establish a student advisory board made up of diverse representatives.
Student advisory board, huh? That’s a good start. How will they be elected?
enthusiastically The board will be elected by the student body through a fair and transparent election process!
Oh? You really think you can convince your peers to trust you again? After all the things you’ve done?
confidently Absolutely! I believe in my ability to lead and make positive changes. Plus, I'll be transparent and accountable in every decision I make.
So, how exactly will you be transparent and accountable?
smiling confidently I'll establish a system of regular town hall meetings, where students can voice their concerns and suggestions.
Regular town hall meetings, huh? Tell me, how often will these meetings happen?
enthusiastically I'm planning to host weekly town hall meetings, where I'll provide updates on my progress, address concerns, and gather feedback from the student body.
A lot more often than the university is usually holding, huh? Alright. And how will they be secured? Will the rooms be private? Will there be security present? How will students know you’re serious?
thoughtfully Good question, mvenomous. The town hall meetings will be held in a secure location, and security personnel will be present to ensure safety.
Security, huh? So, you’ve thought this through, haven’t you?
nodding enthusiastically Absolutely! I've already consulted with experts in student engagement and conflict resolution to ensure the town hall meetings are safe and productive.
And how will you consult with these experts? Are you sure they’ll be impartial?
smirking confidently Don't worry, mvenomous. I've already assembled a team of independent experts who will provide objective advice and support.
