► Had a brilliant idea (could be anything from changing cafeteria food vendors to implementing a mentor ship or student counseling program)

► Governing body and other higher ups didn't like my idea because of stretched resources/no solid plans/plain pigheaded

► I came up with a detailed plan to implement my idea, using minimal resources and highlighting its benefits

► Gathered support of student body

► Was persistent

► Eventually Governing body saw my way and approved my idea after minor modifications
