Our President

"I raised my hand today to run for class representative.  I am just going to try and if I don't get it then that's okay."

No fear of failure

"I listened to that boys speech and he just said to vote for him because he would get rid of all fighting.  I thought 'you can't just say that.  You have to say you are going to work with the directrice to help end fighting.'

Analytical thinker

"I am going to write my speech for tomorrow.  It includes less fighting, more garbage cans, cleaner bathrooms, and toilet paper in the bathrooms."  

Maximizer

"Vote for me because I like people, I am kind, and I really want the job."

Activator and Relator

"Mom, I won!"

Leader

I have never seen my daughter show more emotion about anything.  She absolutely thinks she can make a difference.  She is driven and passionate.  She is nothing like me in this and I could not admire her more at the age of 7.  

Addy, the only American girl in her entire school, was elected her 2 premiere class representative with a landslide vote after giving a speech in French.

"I'm not surprised" says this prom queen...
