Decision: 2007? [Original post: September 3, 2007]

Part of this came from a bulletin post I made. I didn't want the message lost because it's an important one. To start off, it's that time of year again.

Yes, the time when the hallways become covered in a mess of fliers and posters advocating this candidate and that, when we get out of class to hear the officer speeches, and when we just get to vote on who, if you're a freshman or sophomore, will do nothing other than design t-shirts and the Homecoming float. If you're a junior, your officers get to do that AND plan prom not for you, oh no, for the seniors. Ah, the seniors. Our officers don't plan the prom...They plan the reunions...All of them...For life. The senior class officers, once elected, are officers for LIFE. Well, I'm running for president this year and I'd just like to know what all of you think as far as, well, anything. And this isn't just directed towards the seniors, it's for everyone. Because, though our officers lead the senior class, does not the rest of the school look to the seniors for guidance? Well, like I said, I'm running and I'd like to hear some opinions. Advice is also greatly appreciated.

I wrote that as a message to you all. Not as a speech idea, but just a simple message. Yes, the freshman and sophomore officers are important, but not as much as the junior officers (by the way, juniors, vote for Rachel for president and Amber for VP). I mean, after all, they plan the prom. But as important as they are, the senior officers are more important still. Don't call me biased, I've got a reason or two for it. For one, like I mentioned, the officers the seniors elect will be the officers for the next year, and the next, and the next, and the next, until death! While prom has a decorative(artsy people can decorate better, trust me), party-like atmosphere, the senior officers must plan the reunions. Not just plan them, oh no, they have to find every last member of the Class of -insert year here-. Now, I may have repeated myself on a few details. If I did, that just means there's extra importance attached to it.

Once again, I, along with Michael Hang and Angela Henderson, am running for senior class president. There is no doubt in my mind that any one of us would do an excellent job, but I would greatly appreciate your votes. Not only that, if you're willing, I'd like help spreading my voice to the other students in our class that I don't get to see each day. I'd love to get some feedback from anyone, preferably seniors but any member of any class because the other classes look to us. So, tell me your ideas, what you want, and any advice you may have.

Until election day,
Drew
