raison

the reason why i am trying out for executive...
honestly, i see the mistakes ASB has made.
i want to win. so i dont make the same mistakes.
but we are bound to make new mistakes.
we are going to screw up.
we will pick the wrong people.
mistakes are inevitable.
so why am i trying out?
because i want to fix things?
because i thought ASB was different.

when i tried out for ASB last year, i was taking a huge risk.
the reason why i never tried out for senate was because i saw everyone get rejected.
i decided to hold onto my pride and never try out.
even though, i really wanted it.
i really wanted to make ASB.
i thought it looked amazing.
everyone respected you.
everyone looked up to you.
you got to go to dances, assemblies, dress up, and do all these things...and not look dumb.
but when i made ASB, i realized...people weren't as excited as i was to dress up and cheer at football games.
they didn't want to go to poster parties and they didn't want to try hard.
and even if they did...they lost it...
i lost it.
i didn't have any inside "connections" like everyone else who made it.
i wasn't on senate.
i didn't know anyone except for amish.
i was just doing it...because i really wanted to.
i tried really hard. and i made it.
the reason why i didn't want to try out for executive is because i didn't want to lose.
i wanted to play it safe and do spirit again.
it's what i knew how to do.


what is there to lose?
