From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always
31 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to take part in the elections,
32 I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn’t had a chance. I wasn’t pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it
33 to win a school election. I was depressed.
As I cried in my room that evening, I
34 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn’t stop dreaming. I decided that I would stand for elections again in my final year at school — and I would win.
I recognized that my
35 had a lot of things in their favor. What were the
36 that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest strength was the
37 I had. I would not allow my plain appearance to hold me
38 from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I began my election plans a whole year ahead of time.
I realized that the girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to
39 them. I loved making friends and I liked being helpful,
40 I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage. In order to learn how to deliver a great election
41 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking.
The day after the election, when the principal announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students
42 . That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was also theirs.
Suddenly, I realized that I had
43 much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people
44 the way. I had won the
45 and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and brighten their day.
