Being the president of the student body government is not an easy job; and it doesn’t make things easier when he has school and regular life to deal with.

Vishu Gupta,19, engineering major, was voted as the most recent Associated Student Organization president at the end of spring 2015.

“ASO is a good organization to get involved with,” Gupta said. “It helps build character and is a different experience at a community college.”

Gupta said he doesn’t enjoy the stress, but enjoys the duties that come with being president.

“The hardest part about being president is managing everything,” Gupta said. “(Also) making sure people do their jobs and get things done on time.”

Interacting with other ASO members is his favorite part of the job. They have “unique personalities.”

“ASO is like a family now,” Gupta said. “It helps me build (on my) leadership skills and grow as a person because it takes me out of my comfort zone.”
