Prefect application help ?

I'm applying for School prefect, Form prefect, Sports prefect and Listening Link in the hope that'll I'll get one. Here's my application, I don't know if it's alright :/ If anyone does read this, do you think it'll be okay ?


Why have you applied for this role?
I am applying for the role of prefect for numerous reasons. I feel I am benefitting greatly from my education at BHBS and have been presented with many opportunities to succeed and develop as a person over the past few years. The role of prefect would enable me to help take responsibility in helping others to benefit from their experience at our school in the same way as I have. I would be delighted to have the chance to give something back to the school.
What personal qualities could you bring to the role?
I have chosen the prefect roles I believe I could be most suited to and would allow me to contribute most to the school and just as importantly, my fellow pupils.  I would like to think that my dedication and considerate personality makes me approachable by other students at times when they may need my help and reassurance. I hope that others would find me trustworthy and someone they could confide in and relate to. I trust that my organisational skills and logical personality could enable me to contribute effectively as a prefect.
Describe any relevant experience you may have which could help you to carry out this job?
I have always been a strong believer in making the most of every opportunity and experience I have been offered, for this reason I enjoy participating in many things, including Sports day, house matches and form assemblies. I try to do everything to the best of my ability. In the past I have always tried to involve myself in the extra-curricular activities provided by our school such as music, sports and more recently, The Duke of Edinburgh award and the Kielder Challenge. I believe these have all helped me to develop teamwork skills which could be applied to the role of prefect. I also hope that my experiences out of school could help me relate to other students in need of support if they’re in situations similar to my personal experiences.
What difficulties do you think you may encounter in carrying out the job?
I’d like to think that I can overcome any problems that I could encounter as a prefect although I cannot think of many immediate problems that I could come across. I feel that in the past I may have found my somewhat introverted personality an obstacle however, I now believe that the role of prefect is not limited to those who can shout the loudest but to people who enjoy making a real difference to the community found in school.
How would you benefit from the role of a prefect?
My ambition is to study medicine and I feel that the responsibilities and trust associated with being a prefect would be very helpful in the future, I realise that the medical profession is an extremely competitive field to enter and, not to put too fine a point on it, becoming a prefect would help tremendously in future applications to college and university. I also hope that this opportunity would help me to continue to develop as a person and become more self-confident.
If someone is being bullied, what would they expect from you as a prefect?
A student in this situation would expect complete confidentiality and trustworthiness, they would also expect me to really listen to their problem, while giving them advice and support where necessary. I would be expected to be a good role model who they can easily relate to, with the integrity to see their problem through to the end and during that process, explore every possible solution. 

I'll do a proper post tomorrow but I'm a little rushed right now ! ~
