Election Time

N: mom, where is the student council packet?
Me: at home I suppose. Why?
N: it's due tomorrow. I need to turn it in.
(to my surprise, why? he's running?)
Me: you're going to run for student council?
N: Yes. I want to.
Me: Why?
N: Cuz I think it would be fun!
(me thinking: interesting! Never crossed my mind that he would want to run for student council plus he always has told me that he has "stage fright". And his dad and I have always been very apolitical though we like discussing politics at home.)
Me: ok. cool! You know that you need to write a lot, like a paragraph about why you want to do it, no?
N: Yeah. I know. I will write it.

So here it is. Ninja's "vision" of being part of the student council...

"FUN" is pretty much the main theme and his "vision" of the whole "campaign" Pretty much all he wanted is to have fun and make school more fun and make everyone smile more! I thought that it was pretty neat and innocent for a third-grader. Nothing about "saving the world" but just "to have fun". And you know, why not? considering how much work these kids have to do at school these days.
