There have only been three times in my life where I have felt emotionally and physically distraught, and two of those times are because of SGA (Student Government Association).
I have been looked down upon within my previous positions in student government and treated as not important.
There has only been one time in my life that I can recall that I have felt physically unsafe, and it was from SGA.
There have only been two times in my professional career that I have been yelled at, and both were from SGA.
Student Government Association is a place for leadership and growth. These (above) should not be the takeaways but they are.
That is why I am leaving Student Government.
It is of my view that many departments do not like SGA, and to that extent, neither do students. I regret having to leave, but it was a necessary improvement in my life.
