Letter from Eric Sutton of Bronx Community College Encouraging Fellow Students to Vote him SGA Senator

Here is local college student running for a student government position at BCC who decided to send the BoogieDowner a letter outlining his beliefs and goals. Please do read and see what Mr. Sutton has to say. If the other candidate wishes to send their campaign material. please do. May the students pick the best candidates and may the campus continue to have vibrant democratic elections amongst its students. I am hoping to see these names one day in the local arena for NYC Council and Assembly Positions.

Hello Bronx Community College Students

My Name is Eric Sutton and I have been a Student Government member for the past year. As a Student Government member I stood for, by and with the students of Bronx Community College. As a current Student Government member I made it my vow to be there, support and be the mouthpiece for those students who are not hear or seen on this campus. I am a paralegal major here at BCC. Before becoming a Student Government member I was a member of the Bronx Community College Track Team for a year. As a present Student Government member I can truly say that I have not missed any event that the Student Government had on this campus. As a Student Government member I made it by duty to be on campus seven days a week from 8am until ten at night Mondays – Fridays and 9am – 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays some time later than that. As a Student Government member I plan on showing this college and the CUNY system as a whole that Bronx Community College time is here and 2011 – 2012 is time for Bronx Community College to tap into it potential. I have faith that Bronx Community College is the start of my and your future like many other students on this campus so my goal is to make the college experience a great one for you and me. I have faith in the student and I will be there for the students of Bronx Community College. William Arthur Ward once said” Study while others are sleeping: Works while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing”, Albert Einstein once said “Learn for yesterday, live for today, tope for tomorrow, the important thing is to not stop questioning” This are two saying that I live by and stand for.
Bronx Community College is suffering socially, economically, and culturally. Socially, because our leadership and general membership are so separated that BCC Student Government can't truthfully be called representatives of the people that’s why I am asking for your vote because I am person that is for, by and with the student of BCC. I will make it my main goal to end this viewpoint of BCC and create a more personal community within Bronx Community College where everyone will be able to contribute as they choose. However, that will be simple compared to our economic and cultural issues. It’s not going to be easy, I will have to surrender some, and results won't be instantaneous. I am going to work harder than I ever worked before. But that's fine; I will my teeth and shows real determination, failure is not an option. That's how winning is done! Who's with me?

More information will be sent to you college email account when the voting dates comes closer, However If I have your vote email me back. If you can forward this email to any Bronx College Student you know.
This could be the greatest year of our lives, but I will let it be the worst if I give up. Well, I'm not quitting. We as students have come too far! I'm going to stay right here and fight for this cause (You the Student of Bronx Community College. A day may come when our courage and determination fails... but it is not THIS day or THIS year. No longer will the complaints and grievances of students be brushed aside BRONX COMMUNITY COLLEGE WILL become the true Vox Populi, which means the voice of the people.
