https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_council A student council (also known as a student union, associated student body or student parliament) is an administrative organization of students in different educational institutes ranging from elementary schools to universities and research organizations around the world.[1][2] These councils exist in most public and privateK-12 school systems in different countries.[3][4][5] Many universities, both private and public, have a student council as an apex body of all their students' organisations.[6][7] Student councils often serve to engage students in learning about democracy and leadership, as originally espoused by John Dewey in Democracy and Education (1917).

NHS有可能老师指定. 要选的肯定难，含金量高
这就是给了你一个平台，让你有机会做事。然后做了事这个领导位置等于是legitimized 你写进去的成就。双向作用的意思。如果只有title写不出做了什么，这个title没用。
另外俺娃拿到过一个T20 全奖，看到的候选人介绍材料里，基本每个人都有类似这种全校组织的领导位置。我个人感觉这是他们的考虑因素之一。
student council, 校报职务，各种运动队队长 都很好
national honor society 职位不值钱
Student Council其实是popular vote， 不一定是leadship.
9年级做够当学生会干部义工小时，10年级竞选学生会一般职位，11年级竞选VP, 12年级竞选president.
一辈子的美好记忆
可以参加学校的board meeting, 毕业时可以上台给五千多毕业学生和家长致辞。
买点donut．．．
我们就是自由竞选
没选上学生会主席的会当选class president. 几乎每年这样。
而且每年的学生会主席都去T5
主席会讲话，然后其余两三个名额自由竞争
娃从初中开始参加debate队，一直持续到高中毕业。我们高中是州里的强队，参加各种level的比赛，经常是团体第一。娃的比赛成绩不是最好的，但是热衷于此，从11年级开始做captain，最后12年级拿到州里的州长奖。也许对升学没有直接的的作用，但是在这个过程中思维表达能力提高了。同时还参加了computer club和某个义工组织，都做到VP。不知道这些活动在升学中占多少比重，也许加了点分，也许没有，反正娃乐在其中。
刚开始做的时候，根本不知道会走多远，如果孩子有兴趣，会坚持下去，才能看到不错的结果。有个目标，可以作为前进的动力。
