Well, this year I decided I was going to run for Student Body Officer (SBO). I wanted to do this because the current SBOs are really boring. They come on each morning for the announcements and sound like they're still asleep, they never seem to be very enthusiastic, they're just there. So I wanted to make things more exciting. I ran a campaign based on Excitement, Fun, and Student Involvement (And Chuck Norris Jokes- Big Thank you to Matt!) and tried my hardest. Speeches day I wasn't nervous at all, but when I got up on the stand I started Shaking. I always seem to do that- I'm not nervous at all, but I shake like crazy anyway. Apparently I sounded nervous and kept bumping the microphone. In the end I lost, the old SBOs were voted back in along with two other girls (since 9th grade gets 4 while the others get 2). I'm actually surprised that only girls won, since alot of people said that they were glad 2 boys were finally running. (Only Girls have ran the past two years.) Mrs. Bradfield said that this is the closest race she's seen in 8 years. All in all, it was fun. Maybe I can still give suggestions to Paige, Lexi, Lisa and Marissa. (Like Wake up in the mornings!)
