The next year I ran for student council president and faced the dreaded task of giving a speech before all the third, fourth, and fifth graders. With clear conviction and unwavering resolve, I implored my classmates to choose a leader capable of getting Oregon Trail on all the computers in the library, and letting us play in the snow during recess if we brought snowpants from home.
