<p>So yup, I ran for school treasurer and lost. I'm really disappointed because I worked so hard and stayed up late everyday during the two week campaign to make posters and pins. I have absolutely no energy left in me.</p>
<p>The thing is, I can still run to become one of the grade representative but that would be incredibly difficult because there are only two open spots and over 20 good people running. </p>
<p>I don't know how much more heartbreak I can go through. Sure, it's not like my parents are getting a divorce or I have cancer, but it really, truly hurts a lot to put in so much and get nothing.</p>
<p>Should I still give it another go? I have a week to think it over. I just don't know.</p>
<p>It's just a joke position. 20 people is insane. I think it funny though...we have about 4 people for treasurer of shs, 4 for secretary, 3 for vp and only 2 for pres...people obviously just want a position w.o much work for apps :) and pins would be laughed at if someone made them at our schooll..posters are also a joke, but maybe 1 poster is okay.</p>
<p>Well, the treasurer at our school is in charge of a lot. My school was PLASTERED with posters.</p>
<p>your school is good. my school last year had one person run for treasurer. he won because he gave himself a vote</p>
<p>that's good spect..i never vote...this year's elected students for junior class have done the ****tiest job in a while too</p>
<p>Haha today I remembered about StuCo elections so I had to get a petition signed by 105 people during my lunch so that I can run for executive representative..at my school elections aren't really a big deal..you put up a sign if you're running for an office, but if you just want to be a rep you just wait and see how people vote..no speeches or anything like that.</p>
<p>I wish people at my school weren't so competitive! Geez. I had six running-mates and I came in second. The competition is crazy. It sucks.</p>
<p>Well the school is in Canada. :)</p>
<p>Haha, what does that mean?! Are you implying Americans don't care about politics? That is certainly not true! My school is just crazy.</p>
<p>No Im saying many American schools tend to be more laid back. :)</p>
<p>oh yeah politics....LET'S OFFER GRAPE JUICE AS A ALTERNATIVE TO ORANGE JUICE!! WooHOO!!</p>
<p>Huh? Grape juice is gross!</p>
<p>Lol...who does like grape juice??</p>
<p>sorry to hear about your loss, here, no one cared. =\
1 person for prez
3 for VP, 1 known to win once he said he was running
1 for sec
2 for treasurer</p>
<p>I didn't even show up to vote, everyone I would've voted for won. A lot of people didn't come. Haha.</p>
<p>But I guess you have to take that risk of losing when you decide to run . . . I wouldn't really bother with the representative deal, its' not a very important position, and too many people are running . . . you can always try for leadership in other clubs, or even try again next year :)</p>
<p>grace juice is delicious - I never get enough of it at communion heh...</p>
<p>do you have to have an office to be on the council?</p>
<p>Grape juice is much better than orange juice, IMO. :)</p>
<p>absolutely :D:cool::D!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>i can't have breakfast without orange juice.</p>
<p>lol leah, yeah the 1/2 inch is very important...I always round when someone asks me for my height . . who doesn't? haha</p>
<p>aww man, I was about to respond to threads and leave for a minute to get some dinner . . . and they're all deleted :(</p>
<p>lol I don't like grape juice that much. grape soda maybe :D apple juice all the way though!!!</p>
<p>but anyway menuetto... I say go for it, if you really want to be in it! it seems like you really care about stuco after putting all that effort in running for treasurer. maybe people will recognize you since you ran for an office and you can get more votes :D if you don't make it, sure it won't feel nice but at least you can let it go. if you don't run then you'll always be thinking "what if."</p>
<p>at my school this other kid and I were running for pres. he dropped out bc according to other people he didn't think he was gonna make it... ><</p>
