Election

Hey. We just had our elections in school. The three of us, (C,A,M) are all in the same grade level and we all ran for a certain position. Last Friday was the election and the announcing of winners. In my class, we worked our way up and since I ran for president, my position was the last to be called. My class adviser said my competitor and I were both very good because we worked hard. I agree/d with her. She then announced my competitor won. I was/ am happy for her. I really am. But, I've been running for a position for 5 years in a row and this is the first time I've lost. So, I bet you can imagined that I cried. I wasn't a sore loser/ bad sport but it still hurt. A lot. My dad said he's been watching how I acted during campaign period (My dad is not a stalker!!!!), and he said he could tell I didn't want it as much as I did the previous years. And I think I know why. The moderators of the student council, where I would've joined if I had won, are different this year, and in all honesty, I am scared of one of them. Maybe that's why I didn't want it as much....... Anyway, this experience has taught me how to become stronger annd how to become a better person (I hope). I just want to point out that all experiences, good or bad, teach us a lesson. Even if you don't know it. It does. Thanks for actually reading my sort-of-rant.
