3. Alejandra
Bonilla
1. My outgoing personality-I'm friendly !
Who wouldn't want someone nice and
friendly to represent their class?! No one!
2. I am responsible and reliable. If you vote
for me, I'll try to be the best first year
representative ever!
3. And, my experience! I was a co-chair for a
youth council called Volunteer Captains for
my local community centre and one of my
responsibilities was to act as a liaison
between the community centre staff and
youth. Coincidentally, a first year rep also
takes on the role of being a liaison as
well...Oh, wow what a perfect match! Don't
dillydally vote for ALY!

4. 1. I am a hardworking individual who when given a task, runs
with it, and gets it completed quickly, efficiently, effectively, and
Dylan Billings with a positive attitude. I will try my very best to get all
messages passed on to my fellow classmates immediately and
get their input on the messages for the following meeting so that
they feel well involved in the community, and heard by those
who represent them.
2. I am an outgoing and positive individual, and I believe that I
would represent the first year Concurrent-Education students
well, and be an asset to the CESA Executive team. I am quick
witted, and always ready to make a joke. I try my best to smile
everyday and keep a positive attitude towards everything I do.
Even when put in a stressful situation, I will remain enthusiastic
about the task at hand and not stop until it is completed and I
am satisfied with the result.
3. I am a natural leader. In my high school career I lead an
Improv team for three years to become the top in our region. I
organized several events and worked with several prominent
charities, mainly to do with education in a third world country.
In the summer between Grade 11 and 12, I had the opportunity
to travel to India with Me to We and Free the Children, and
break ground for the building of a school in the small village of
Kamoda. While there I took part in leadership workshops, and
interacted with the children and learned about the education
system in a vastly different culture. In my senior year of high
school I was part of a business leadership club, and helped raise
over $1200 at a small charity dinner for the WWF Polar Bear
fund. Throughout all of this I learned how to lead a large group
of people, hear their voices, and make sure that I appeased as
many people as I could.

5. Lexie Houghton
During my high school career I was
involved in leadership programs to
orient new students to our school and
encourage participation in everything.
I also have a vocal performance
background so I am comfortable
speaking to groups of people. I am
always very enthusiastic about projects
I am involved in and am always ready
to put 100% into my commitments.
I enjoy being involved and look forward
to the challenge of representing my
fellow Con-Ed students.

6. Jr Social Rep
Emily Jones
Jessica Bannach
Miranda Moore
Sarah Williams


7. 1. Over the past 4 years I have worked heavily in
Emily Jones my school community occupying various
positions in different committees and
organizations (Student Council President,
Leadership Co-ordinator, Special Events
Chair, Safe Schools Representative, Peer tutor,
High School Ambassador. etc). Which has
taught me skills such as communication,
organization and time management.
2. This past summer I worked at Youth
Leadership Camps Canada as a residential
and out-tripping counsellor, working with
children ages 6-17. This gave me the skills to
make great and lasting connections with
different personality types and taught me the
importance of flexibility when things don't go
as planned. This opportunity also gave me a
chance refine my professional facilitation skills
and gave me the confidence to be able to work
and communicate effectively with campers,
fellow staff members and parents.
3. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first month at
Trent and could not be happier with the
program (and profession) I chose. I have an
abundance of energy and experience that I am
eager to share and I would love the
opportunity to get involved at Trent and in
CESE!

8. Jessica Firstly, I love to plan events because
when everyone is enjoying themselves
Bannach at the event it makes me smile knowing
that something was done right.
Secondly, I am extremely organized
and reliable, which means that I will
put the effort in to contribute to CESA
continuing to be amazing.
Thirdly, staying involved means that I
can help make a difference for all of
our fellow Con-Eddies by helping have
their ideas heard so that CESA can
benefit everyone in the program.
Please find attached my CESA
nomination picture. I look forward to
hearing more about the elections and
news from CESA.

9. Miranda
Moore
I have extensive experience in event planning,
organization, team work and time
management from being Vice- President of
Student Council in my grade twelve year of
high school.
I am very passionate about learning in fun,
new ways and I believe that I could help lead
CESA to plan events that can help us 'con-
eddies' not only learn about our future careers
but do so in an engaging and exciting
manner.
I possess very strong communication skills
which I believe is essential for the Junior
Social Rep. on account of their many
encounters with other CESA members,
classmates, and individuals from the
Peterborough and Trent communities.

10. 1. I was on ISW Staff this year for Lady Eaton College, so
Sarah (along with having the time of my life) I have gained a lot of
expertise in planning great events and getting students
motivated and interested. I've noticed that we have so many
Williams enthusiastic and wonderful first years in the ConEd program,
and I am excited to get them involved in all of the CESA
activities!
2. I was the Social Director and Fundraising Coordinator at
my high school, where I was involved in planning social
events like dances, Haunted Houses, talent shows, etc... I was
also a member of Leaders of Tomorrow, the Living Learning
Community at LEC in my first year. Essentially - I have a lot
of experience planning things and I know what I'm doing! :)
3. My favourite quote is from Alice in Wonderland: "We're
all mad here." - I just wanted to share this because even
though I'm a little weird, and each of us individually are a
little weird, it's okay because we're all "mad", and we're all a
community. I think that is one of the most important jobs
that CESA has - to bring all the ConEddies together as one
big family, no matter what our differences are! As Jr. Social
Rep, I would try to have a large variety of events, respecting
the fact that all of us are different and we all have different
ideas of fun. I want to create an environment where all of us
feel that we are welcome and can come out to have an
amazing time!

11. Jr Red Apple Editor
Amy Belisle
Jenna Frank
Michelle Carr


12. I would make a great junior editor
because I am a meticulous craftsmen
Amy Belisle and give each sentence careful
inspection and deliberation. Editing is
where writing happens, and I am
passionate about perfecting the art.
As a senior editor, I would pass on the
legacy to our new team member while
giving time and consideration into
creating an aesthetic and easy to follow
layout.
I am great to work with and eager to
get to know my potential colleagues in
CESA as well as my fellow Concurrent
Education students. My goal is to get
them excited and inspired to read and
write for the Red Apple.Hope to be
hearing from you soon about any
events or updates with regards to
CESA or the election. Congratulations
on your award!

13. 1) I'm a creative and innovative person. I like
to see things change and evolve and I would
love to add a new, exciting and modern spin to
Jenna Frank the Red Apple.
2) Even though I'm a science student, I really
like writing and editing! In 2010, I received an
award for outstanding editing from the
Canadian Yearbook Review. Each year they
present this award to an editor from a school
with one of Canada's top yearbooks. With
that, I'd say I've got the skills to do this job
well. I've also advised a nationally placing
high school year for the past 2 years, so I'm
really aware of the time and effort it takes to
not only edit, but compile a piece of work that
will be widely distributed, such as the Red
Apple.
3) I love working and collaborating with
groups of people and in general, being
involved. In the past I've been on student
council as business administrator, editor of the
yearbook club, Chair of the Thinkfast
Committee, and leader of the Grade 12 retreat
team. Also I've demonstrated teamwork and
leadership while being involved in several
other clubs and playing on numerous teams.

14. -I was part of student government
Michelle Carr and volunteer clubs in high school,
as well as clubs at Trent like PenPals,
Walkhome, and Frontier College,
and want to stay involved!
-I love working in a team, and who
better to work with than people in
my program with similar interests to
mine?!
-I am really interested to hear about
others’ experiences in/ideas for
teaching (my Pinterest board is full
of teaching ideas!), so I would be
open to all kinds of submissions to
the Red Apple!
