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 participate in the elections,
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
to win a school election. I was

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
their day.
