Maybe i could be someone great.

I've begun my application for class president.

This shouldn't be hard I remind myself repeatedly but for some reason, I feel uneasy, I wanna become someone id be proud of. I have rewritten my words multiple times anticipating what to add to my statement about why I should be elected. I'm struggling, The thoughts I keep thinking that I'm going to fail I'm never gonna get elected. People continuously look at me turn to a friend and begin whispering I can't help but overthink. I wonder why I care what people say about me so much. why I am so eager to change so that people will like me. I wanna make school a better place. how can I accomplish that when I can't even make myself a better person? I've tried. I've joined things, helped people, and changed. I have done as much as possible to make myself someone important but yet can't make it anywhere. I bring my hand up to cover my face to avoid being looked at because I feel as if I'm being watched. I close my computer a little so nobody can read my introduction statement. I slouch and reread it. It says

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨My name is Andie Phill. Im applying for president for the class of (year of graduation), I'd like to apply for this spot in (label of grade-(Example Seniors instead of 12th graders)) class officers to improve school experiences and to be accountable for making sure everyone has a say in what can be changed and improved. I'll do my best to consider everyone's input and hopefully make these years some of the best and in the meantime, I'd like to get to know each and every one of you better. Thank you, and have a nice day.

 I pray that the introduction will be good enough. I've found a passion in the idea of being in the position of class president. If I could help by being class president maybe people would like me better. Maybe I could accomplish something, something that opens opportunities for others and myself. But if not this life then maybe in another life I could take a big step and keep walking as if it was nothing but a minor crack on the sidewalk. It could even be the thing that justifies my future as well as my legacy.

(2 hours after arriving home)

I lie in my bed with a blank piece of paper. I must write some problems that we can find solutions for. My mind is brain dead I can't think of anything, it was just yesterday when my head was pouring with problems and solutions but as of now, I can't seem to recall a single one. I sit there for about 10 minutes then I realize something, if I'm going to be president I must confer with people who attend my school and see what they believe can happen or be adjusted. I pick up my computer and set its cold smooth bottom on my skin and pull up my email and begin typing it says

Dear, Class of (year of graduation)

My name is Andie Phill. Im applying for president for the class of (year of graduation) and I was wondering what you guys think are some problems and what solutions there might be or any adjustments you'd like to make to things that may already be part of your daily routines?

-Thank you, Have a wonderful day.

Once I finish typing and sending the email out to the whole class. After it was done sending it I close the computer and sat it on my oak nightstand I look down at my legs and see the imprint it has placed upon my legs I didn't think the computer was on my legs long enough to leave a mark but it did, as surprising as it is. I hang my legs over the side of my bed and my hands push off my bed and I stand I take one step forward next thing I know I'm on the floor it was kinda funny so I begin laughing at my own mistake of talking on numb legs. I eventually stop laughing and stand up and start walking to my door to go to the kitchen and pour myself a glass of water. When I finally reached the kitchen there was my phone and I grab it to check what I missed. I hit the screen and I have a notification I type in my password and immediately to go my text messages its from this girl in my class and it says

Hello Andie, This is regarding the offices for our class. I'm running for vice president, and id like to let you know I look forward to working with you if we both get elected :) (Also I got your number from one of your friends)

When I received a message from her I was confused, not knowing why I had received it then I looked at what was sent and I was very happy. It was such a nice message to receive I was surprised that someone would be so kind to take time out of their day just to let me know they look forward to working with me. This message really made my application feel lighter and I felt ready to win. I know I have good intentions and if I have good intentions rather than doing it so I can get popularity cause that's not what's important. What's important is that the things that need to be recognized can be recognized and can make a better environment for everyone. Everyone deserves to have an opinion and a say because it's nice to have input when it comes to what you deal with most days of the week. Soon when it comes to filling the potions in class officers I hope that I can become president and I believe I will. I feel confident in how this will go because I have faith in winning and I'm excited to see where to road will take me.
