Today, I lost the Freshmen Election of 08-09. __ _______ won. I don't know why, but this is a huge reveletion hit to me. Everyone knew that if he won, it would be out of popularity contest. I feel though, that maybe he would be a wonderful president. At the same time, I know that no one biased him on his speech or his posters. Well may be his posters. I feel that I could do way better next time. I can not believe it. I am still very shocked. This election meant so much to me. It was the first time that I was right about losing and failing. I'm not going to lie, I'm not a huge fan of rejection because it doesn't really happen to me. Actually it does happen, but I always know why and how come.
I don't think I deserved the lost, but I do know some ways I could have done to get higher votes.
1. Post up more posters visible to all students' eyes.
2. Made buttons with my name and picture to give out to people.
3. Attend more school activities and spread my name.
4. In my speech, add more comments of what ideas I would use, but not be sure that it would be used.
I don't know how I feel right now. It is a mixture of annoyance, anger, and disappointed. I am annoyed at the fact that I KNOW that 2/3 of the Freshman Population voted by popularity. Most likely those of the KM building, but that's where anger comes in. Why would they base their votes on who's more popular or who they know? I thought people my grade were smarter than that. SIGHS. Maybe they didn't vote just because of popularity, maybe they actually think that RJ will do a better job. That's where my disappointment comes from.
I don't know how it would be for me to be a President of a student body. I've had many experiences in ASB though. In 4th, 5th, and 6th grade I was a representative of my elementary. I was the secretary in 6th grade of the whole school. 7th grade I was a representative. 8th grade I boosted myself up by being 8th grade Senator. 9th grade, I took the decision to run for Freshmen President.
I'm not sad, just those three feelings. Hopefully I'll do a better job next time. There's always next time.

I've never been more proud of you in my whole life, Nikki Molina. Your the most amazing person I know, and you've been through so much, putting yourself through so much, and never getting anything in return. Everyday, I see you and your doing something amazing, fixing something amazing, and helping other people. You had the expierience, goals, and luck to win this whole thing. you know it. You might've not won but everyone knows you were the better president no matter what. You've been my hero since 6th grade, and even I didn't get to keep in touch in 7th or 8th, I know you been thorough **** and still did beautiful things. You've been my hero in 6th grade, and your still my hero now. I really hope I can grow up to be half the person you are.
Of course tehre is a next year.
:)
:^) try again next year. You'll have my vote! B^D
Hey "loveatfirstsight" hahaha.
LOL, yeah I'm "Royals" [esther] from Jeph's blog comment.
Thanks for what you said on your comment (: You're a great person!
Honestly, this whole election was a huge dissapointment. People in high school are still so stupid and immature to realize who will serve our school the best.
It still happens with grown adults. The whole "popularity" thing is the most eye appealing thing to people. Although not everyone follows by that, the majority will always go with the "popular" person.
That's really unfair. But you should know, it's hard working, sincere, and honest people like you that still make the school stand firm. It's people like you that are willing to do whatever it takes to make the community and others around a better place, whether it means working "behind the stage" and not being noticed for it. You're a true leader. And you always be.
What others think in this world won't really matter. As long as you know you did your best, and put everything to your fullest potential.... then that's what will make your life valuable.
You're already on that path. In fact, many others are too. So don't be down, and keep your head up. You had a lot of supporters on your side too! (:
I'm stupid... I thought that the M.N.M meant MNM. You know, that rapper guy? Ha! Bakka!
