Sarah Tang

Secretary

Name, Sarah Tang; nationality, Hong Kong/ USA; grade level, Junior ; and Secretary of the Student Council, these are only hard facts about me, but I would like my schoolmates, teachers, and parents reading this to know me a little more than just that information, I would like to tell you who I really am. I will start by telling you the reason why I wanted to be Secretary. After being in IAB and in Beijing for four years since 7^th grade, it became normal that I am one of the students who supposedly knows everything about IAB. However, no matter how long I have been here, I feel like I am learning something new about this school every day. IAB might be considered a relatively small school, but there is more than it appears to have. That is why I chose to be involved with Student council, it is the best way to learn about how IAB works and functions in a new perspective I have never been in before. Although this is my first year in Student Council, I have already learned a lot through being in my position, things like organization was my weakness before but now I am learning through the meetings, about note taking, arranging the bulletin board, etc. Being in this council brought me new skills but it also brought me closer to other students I have never even talked to before. I cannot wait for more unexpected gifts from the council.

Other than Student Council, I am also involved with the school worship band, photography club, and prayer group. Out of school, I am with my youth group's worship band and I teach migrant children in Beijing, English twice a month. All these things that I am part of are all the things I love, I love music, photography, hanging out with my friends and meeting new people.  For the next two years of my high school journey, Student Council will be a place for me to learn, grow, and connect with my schoolmates and many unexpected things I am yet to find out.
