Caravano: I only ran for student body president, right?
Quick: Twice. [laughter]
Caravano: I think that's the only electable position that I held, right? Yeah, never senate-
Quick: The judicial board's not elected.
Caravano: In high school, I was really, really spoiled in high school.
I was president of my class freshman year through senior year and I just thought that was one of the funnest things ever;
a little bit of responsibility, more each year.
Being responsible for outcomes that your peers are going to enjoy, or you hope they're going to enjoy I really liked,
so I have this note, this like journal entry from-. Gosh, I was seventeen. I was a senior in high school.
t says: "I'd like to be the student body president at North Carolina State University."
I get to NC State and I said I don't want to be the student body president at North Carolina State University;
I actually want to be-. I want to play a smaller role in the larger organization of student government,
so I wanted to impact an individual's life rather than doing this big thing.
Like I thought I'd had my fair share of the bigger leadership from high school and I had no idea what I was talking about.
Slowly I realized, you know, I think by the middle of my sophomore year I realized that that was probably limiting.
There were so many things that I was interested in impacting campus wise
that seeing the opportunity to run for student body president kind of leapt out at me,
and it was back to that original note from the seventeen-year-old, not the freshman who said, nah, I definitely don't want to do that.
So that's sort of the evolution for me but a lot of it had to do with Wolf Aides and then, like I said,
those other leaders that when you're a freshman and you're looking up to these guys and these ladies you're really impressed by them and you want to be that.
You may not want to hold the position but you want to be like they are, and they were just great role models.
