At my school, only your year group, the SRC, and teachers vote. My friend and I got school captain. Neither of us are popular. In fact, we're rather quiet and would usually stick to our own social group. But, since becoming captain I've become a lot more confident, getting to run assemblies and what not. I think I got school captain due to the fact that I get along with most people, even if I'm not particularly fond of the way they act (i.e. I don't cause conflict, but I by no means "follow the crowd" and always stick to what I believe in. - e.g. I've always believed in trying my best and never giving up, especially at school, for which I've been called a nerd for (I've gotten the principal's award 5 times in a row). I genuinely just laugh and have a joke about it, rather than taking it to heart, and just continue doing what I do. I found out that most of the people who would call be a nerd and whatever actually voted for me). I've been told by both teachers and students that my true personality has start to come out haha.
Anyway, go for Captain! It's an amazing experience. I've learned so much from being captain, especially in interacting with a range of different people. I really don't want this year to end!!
Seriously.. which schools even HAVE Ambassadors...
