My Goodness

Hey all you out there I have some really cool news to share with all of you!

I was on My middle School's Student Council this year, and my Advisor wasn't the best but I had apretty good time. But now that I am going into highshool I wanted to know how much more different it would be if I was on the Highschool student Council, and I thought I would give it ago. The principal that does the morning announcements said that their were applications in his office, and in one week we would have elections. And the bad news was that only 2 would go on to serve on the Student Council for 06-07 School year. Now my F.R.O.G. (Student Advisory class, Fully Realizing Our Greatness) class is all of the SBO's in the Middle school. And elections are always a popularity contest, and believe me I am not popular ( I am considered a Band Geek and a Nerd, but hey it doesn't bother me too much And this really popular Boy is in my FROG class, his name is Owen. He was all " We know Who's gonna wing huh, Sarah". Sarah is the other girl who was running, She is also VERY popular. So I thought, I might as well not even run, I'm not gonna win. But I decided that I should run anyway and that there was no harm in running.

So we had to get thirty signatures to be able to run, so I asked some of my friends to sign and they said I would win hands down. I thought they were just trying to make me feel better. Now I am not popular at all, but I do have some friends who are and so I though no harm is asking everybody. They all were like " Duh Bee we'll vote for you, your like the coolest ever!" I was all " Um no not really but I would appreciate it if ya voted for me." It was a done deal I asked EVERYBODY. I asked the kids with no friends all my band friends, EVERYONE. So next came election day. After the Elecections a lot of people said they voted for me. But we would just have to wait and see.

So then I got a call, a boy that served on this years student council at the HS told me that I won the election!!! I was FREAKING OUT!!! I asked who else had won, and he said it was Me and Julie L. I was FREAKING OUT. So I called my friend and I said " Oh my gosh Ashley I am Freaking out can you believe I won! I actually won!" This is what she said,

"Um, actually I can believe you won, That is so Coooool!" I said- "I know but can you believe I beat Owen and Sarah! They are the most popular people in the whole school." And this is what she said- "Bee, you are popular, you are nice to everyone! That's why you won, because your nice to everyone and practically everybody's friend they all like, you! Your not the snobby popular, you the everybody likes you because you are YOU . I am soo happy for you!"

My parents are thrilled as well. I am so excited the I get to be on the Student Council! I cant wait, and everybody the next day was shocked that I had won and Owen didn't, but I still got a lot of high fives and congrats, and everybody was like "Yeah I voted for you!"

And I just have to say, this old saying goes,

Nice guys don't always finish last!!
