R1 I strive to be fair to everyone, and if
someone needs help, I am always there
to assist them. They can approach me
whenever they need me. It can be
challenging because one person may
require my assistance while another may
not. That's why fairness is essential to Socializing
me as a president; it is my social role. )
R2 The classroom president is the one with
authority over their fellow classmates,
and their social role is to have good
interactions with the leader, making them
approachable. Your classmates may feel
hesitant to engage with you, but once
they see that you are approachable and
maintain a positive classroom
atmosphere, they will be more inclined to
approach you.

good at interacting with them. When you
consistently engage with them, it seems
like your relationship as classmates is in
a good place.

is that they can reach out to you with
their problems, and you can also provide
insights and help them with activities
they haven't completed yet. And as the
classroom president, you also maintain
peace and order in the classroom.

orderliness of the classroom

bring out unity; in my opinion, the
president is the spokesperson of the
classroom.

classmates, foster friendship, and
encourage positive thinking.

R2 We establish rules and regulations in and policies
the room to maintain order and
harmony. I communicate these rules to
my classmates. I also provide daily
reports on what happens and seek
guidance or advice from our teacher on
what actions we should take.
R3 Through my extensive experience as a Serving as a role
classroom president, I have model
encountered situations where I had to
face challenges. There were instances
when I was given tasks that some
classmates were unwilling to do, or
there were circumstances that were not
ideal. In those moments, I realized that
it is important to fulfill the
responsibilities assigned to you as a
classroom president. You must carry
out what needs to be done.
R4 By setting himself/herself as a role
model in the classroom, he/she is being
observed. He/she should be the first
one to take action in the room so that
the other classmates will follow. That
should be the mindset for me as a
leader, as a classroom president.

example like me; i can lead not just
only about maintaining rules but
bringing bright and positive classroom
management. that's all.

you need to take action there so that
they have someone to follow. So it's
really important to be a role model, that
you yourself lead because they look up
to you.
