This year at school there is an ASB. Jacob came home with the information a couple weeks ago wanting to run for Vice President. I was like ok. He had a list of things he needed to have turned in by the next Monday; signs, speech, parent recommendations, things like that. I told him that he may not win so he should enjoy the process and do his best. He said he would but a couple days before election day he was getting nervous someone else would win. I told him that could happen, the election was out of his control so the most important thing is to act with integrity and kindness no matter who won. The night before the election I gave him a speech about congratulating the winner, if it wasn't him, and not whining about how they won for unfair reasons with kids at school. I told him he could come home and whine like that to me and his dad. He was like, "Really? You won't listen to that." I said I would.
Well of that was in vain because he won. lol I swear instead of worrying about him not winning, now I have to worry about him always winning and getting what he wants. I am very happy for him. He is such a super kid and I am glad he gets to be Vice President.
