So, Tommorrow I'm gonna run for class president. That's right, Ben Savage, 2012 Class President. The problem is, this is my third time running. I haven't won once. Now, I know that our society says " It's not about winning, it's about the experience" or "If at first you don't suceed, get back up on the horse," or a million other platitudes,but the fact that I haven't won, and likely WON'T win, irks me. Bear in mind, I know the former canidates that beat me, and I know the canidates that I am running against. I enjoy their company and bear them no ill will. I would love if I could call them my friends. The problem is, they were( and are) almost guareented to win, because they have so many friends, and people just vote for their friends-or the same guy as last year. I get that politics is a dirty buisness, but it's the junior class election. And favortisim is annoying as h***. I guess the question I am asking myself is why am I running if I have no chance of winning? Because I want to. Does that change the fact that high school is a hot bed of favoritism and cliques?
Not in the slightest. Oh well.
