Ideally I would like to become a superintendent one day but due to what I have seen and personally experienced as a student leader, if I had to choose between these options, I would like to become part of the school board.
As a student in a small community I have seen how the board members, educated or not, have over powered the authority of the superintendent. When I was a senior in high school and even now, my school district was very corrupt and nothing was done to help the students but only benefit the individuals on the board. Individual power is not what I would seek, but stopping that is what I would strive for. I would use the power a board member has so that the students can be educated to their fullest potential and provide all kinds of experiences and opportunities.
It is seen in the media very often on how board members always sabotage the school to benefit themselves and yet the community or city keeps re- electing them or citizens simply are not aware of the candidates motives if they become board members. My goal would be to make a change and show what great progress and outcome of doing the right thing, how not only benefits the students, which is what the board is there to do, but benefits you too by giving one that feeling of doing good for others.
