“I can’t believe what I’m hearing ” I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate for president of Student Council. My best friend Tony came to me and said. “I’m sorry, Mike. I really thought you should be chosen.” Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered him a polite“Congratulations” and walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine. “I’m, er—I’m just wondering if you would …consider coming to work on my team,” he said nervously. “You are really smart, and you would be a great manager.” “I don’t think so,” I replied, feeling unsure. “Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow,” he said before moving to another table. All that night, I thought about the offer from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process would give me a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them. My first goal was to a catchy advertisement. Within a few days, we designed a poster with Jeff’s pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway without passing Jeff’s smiling face. My next step was to find out which new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and a volleyball team. With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster agreed to add these activities to our school program. An eighth grader said, “It’ll be like attending a new school with Jeff as president.” Hearing these words made my heart filled with pride. I had wanted to become president of Student Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff’s team. He became the most popular candidate and I was large part of his success. The fact that it has made a difference in other people’s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling ！
