<p>I'm a Key Club member...technically.
I rarely attend meetings, and rarely attend any Key Club-sponsored volunteer opportunities.
I'm, however, planning on running for President. I don't think it's going to be particularly competitive...but I don't really have a lot going for me.</p>
<p>My opponent is a guy who has been on Key Club for two years. Last year he held a Key Club position. My advantage over him, however, is I have greater skill in public speaking. I know for a fact that he's not exceptionally skilled at writing or giving speeches, as I've had him before in previous classes. </p>
<p>So essentially, my entire campaign is running on the short 1-2 minute speech we give before the election.
Has anyone else ever done this before?</p>
<p>It’s a pretty obnoxious thing to do. Have you ever seen the movie named Beastly?</p>
<p>Honestly, why are you running for the Presidency if you don’t attend meetings or Key Club events? What?</p>
<p>Probably depends on who’s more popular. That’s high school for you.</p>
<p>“Honestly, why are you running for the Presidency if you don’t attend meetings or Key Club events? What?”</p>
<p>For college apps, presumably.</p>
<p>I suppose college apps is part of it, but it’s not as though I don’t care about Key Club. Usually I couldn’t attend many of the Key Club events because they were in conflict with other obligations, like orchestra concerts and swim meets.</p>
<p>I admire the virtues that Key Club represents, I can say that much. And if I were elected, I would prioritize it over everything else, out of a sense of obligation, if nothing else. </p>
<p>Yes, it does appeal to me as a leadership position I can put on applications. I can’t say it’s been a great passion of mine for years, but I’d like it to be.</p>
<p>“I admire the virtues that Key Club represents, I can say that much.”</p>
<p>Wouldn’t being against altruism make you a psychopath?</p>
<p>If it were me, I’d let the more committed kid have it, and instead try for Vice President or Secretary or whatever. It’s not really fair to just come in out of nowhere and take something he’s devoted more time to, but then again it happens like that in the real world all the time.</p>
<p>Well, we’re technically both running for the same reasons, if you’re putting it that way. Neither of us are exceptionally committed to the club. I ran for Secretary against him last year, but he won by a margin of 2 votes.
I’m fairly sure we both would like it for college applications.
Of course, that could just be me trying to rationalize it to myself. </p>
<p>I think I could do a better job as President than him, to be honest.</p>
