Hannah decided this year in 5th grade she wanted to run for student body vice president. I wasn't actually thrilled about the news at first, in fact I even tried to talk her out of it. I was being selfish and just thinking of all the posters and stickers I would be in charge of making for her campaign. I was also thinking that she didn't need to be pulled out of class for another thing, since she goes to chorus one day a week and band two days a week. I'm glad she didn't listen to me and followed through with her task. Back in elementary school I was very shy and didn't have the outgoing personality that Hannah has. I would have been terrified to get in front of the whole school and give a speech. Hannah was able to memorize her speech in no time at all and didn't seem nervous at all on the day of her speech. Her first job was to find a campaign manager. After she asked her first campaign manager to help her write a speech and the little girl said No, I want to go play instead. Hannah found a new campaign manager to help with the tasks.

Even though Hannah didn't win, I'm so proud of her for trying. This little setback didn't damper her spirits in fact she said, "Next year I'm going to run for president."
