John Adams Candidate Statements
Jialing Lian, running for Vice President of John Adams
I am running for office because I want to continue serving the John Adams community and helping our students. I had the opportunity to serve as John Adams President and Vice President in 2024 and 2025, where I learned the importance of listening to students, representing their voices, and working together to support our community.
I would like to serve again because I believe there is still more I can contribute. I want to continue supporting students, listening to their ideas and concerns, and helping make John Adams a welcoming and supportive community for everyone.
Vins Ramirez, running for Senator of John Adams
I am interested in running for Senator because I want to help ensure that students’ needs, concerns, and ideas are heard and addressed. As students, we all have different experiences and challenges, and I believe it is important to have someone who is willing to listen to those concerns and communicate them effectively. I want to be someone students feel comfortable approaching when they have an issue, need help finding a resource, or simply want their perspective represented.
One of the qualities I believe I can bring to this position is having a strong voice while also being a good listener. Being a strong representative is not only about speaking up; it is also about taking the time to understand different perspectives before deciding how to move forward. I want to represent students rather than simply speaking on my own behalf. I would make an effort to listen to different concerns, identify common issues, and work toward practical solutions that benefit the student body as a whole.
I also want to help students feel more connected to their school and to one another. College can sometimes feel disconnected, especially when students are balancing classes, clinical responsibilities, work, and personal commitments. As Senator, I would strive to be a reliable resource and help connect students with the appropriate people or resources when issues arise.
I believe I would also be a good fit for this position because I work well with others and communicate effectively between different groups. A Senator has an important role in helping bridge the gap between students, faculty, and administration. These groups may have different perspectives and priorities, so effective communication requires being respectful, clear, and willing to understand each side. I would approach these conversations with the goal of finding practical solutions and ensuring that student concerns are communicated accurately and constructively.
I consider myself reliable, level-headed, and analytical. When problems arise, I prefer to understand the situation fully, consider different perspectives, and think about practical ways to address the issue rather than immediately reacting. I believe these qualities would help me represent students responsibly and contribute positively to the Student Body Association.
Ultimately, I want to run for Senator because I want to contribute to my student community in a meaningful way. I want students to feel that they have someone who will listen to them, take their concerns seriously, and advocate for them when needed. I would take the responsibility of representing my fellow students seriously and work to be someone they can depend on.
Sabrina Kong, running for Secretary of John Adams
Running for Student Council Secretary is an opportunity for me to become more involved in my school community and represent students from different programs and backgrounds. As a Radiologic Technology student, I have experienced firsthand how important communication, organization, teamwork, and support are in a demanding academic environment. I want to bring those experiences with me into Student Council and use them to help create a stronger connection between students and our school community.
Being a student in a healthcare program has taught me how to manage multiple responsibilities while staying organized and accountable. Between classes, exams, clinical rotations, assignments, and other commitments, I have learned that staying organized and communicating effectively can make a significant difference. I believe these skills would allow me to be a reliable and responsible Secretary.
If elected, one of my priorities would be improving communication between Student Council and the student body. Students have different schedules, programs, responsibilities, and experiences, so it is important that everyone has access to information and opportunities to participate. I would make it a priority to keep accurate records, communicate important announcements, and help ensure that students are aware of events, meetings, and opportunities available to them.
I also want to be someone students feel comfortable approaching. Although I am part of the Radiologic Technology program, I know that every program has its own challenges and experiences. I would not want to represent students based only on my own perspective. Instead, I want to listen to students across campus, understand what matters to them, and help communicate their ideas and concerns to Student Council.
My experience in the Radiologic Technology program has also shown me the importance of teamwork. In both the classroom and clinical environment, we rely on one another, communicate constantly, and learn from different perspectives. I would bring that same collaborative mindset to Student Council. I believe the best ideas come from working together and making sure everyone has an opportunity to contribute.
Most importantly, I am running for Secretary because I want to be involved and give back to the school community. I want to help create an environment where students feel informed, represented, and connected, regardless of what program they are in.
If elected, I will approach this position with responsibility, organization, and an open mind. I will listen to my fellow students, communicate their ideas, and follow through on my responsibilities. I would be honored to serve as Secretary and help make our school community a place where every student feels that their voice matters.
