my events as well, and overall, just make senior year special.”

Heba Habib: “What made you decide to run for Senior President?”

Gauri Saigal: “I was Vice President my senior year, and our former President wasn’t the

greatest and the organization wasn’t the best. I wanted to make the organization better and

I just like participating.”

Heba Habib: “What advice would you give someone who wants to run for office?”

Gauri Saigal: “Participate and know how to balance things because as a senior who has

college applications, and school you have to learn to communicate with the people around

you.”

regular member of SCA?”

forms and overlook everything.”

definitely stressful I will say that.”
