Family: "Why did you choose St. Timothy's?"

Ambassador: "Well", said through gum chewing, "I really wanted to go to this other school, but my parents made me come here."
What is how to quickly not be an Ambassador anymore?

Instead: An ambassador has to always show St. Timothy's in positive light, also while not belittling other schools, or especially anything specific to St. Timothy's. It is best to just point out what made St. Timothy's the best fit for you.

Another example would be if asked about the amount of work/homework, etc. you should say something along the lines of “there is a considerable amount of work but it really prepares you for college and there is structured time to get it done. It is completely doable.”

And never, ever chew gum!!!!
