I came to study in the US last fall. My life had been quite 1 since I arrived at Andover. Although I had quite a few activities, I hadn't taken any official leadership position.
This 2 changed when I received an e-mail from Ms. Griffith, my cluster (a group of dorms) dean (主任), 3 that a new female DC Rep was needed. DC Rep 4 Discipline Committee Representative (代表). 5 boarding school students break serious rules, like using 6 , getting drunk or cheating in their studies. The punishments given to such students are 7 by a DC Rep. I was really interested in becoming DC Rep for my cluster, Pine Knoll, 8 so were five other students. We had to hold 9 and Ms. Griffith asked us to write 10 to be sent to everyone in Pine Knoll.
