The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen who finally gets to give an acceptance speech.

[If this is sparse it's because it's late and I"m exhausted. Will elaborate more tomorrow night.]

Dearest Darlingest Classmates,

I'd like to thank firstly everyone who voted for me. Quite literally I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks especially to those who said, "I voted for you!!" because it put me in a really good mood all day to feel like i had so much support.

I'd like to thank Mr. Goffin who inspired me to never give up from the start, because of that story he told me of the girl who kept losing until her senior year when she finally won a class election.

I'd like to thank Sal, who since 8th grade has had my back in these elections, and is a fantastic friend in general.

I'd like to thank Devon. Goodness knows what I'd have done without Devon. He was always there encouraging me before I ran, hugging me when I lost, making snide comments about those who won to make me laugh, and keeping me going. I'm so happy I could make him proud.

I'd like to thank Ash, for getting me especially through the loss last year, and encouraging me and celebrating with me this year.

I'd like to thank anyone who smiled and said, "Congrats!!" to me at dismissal today, and/or the 30+ people that liked my status thanking everyone. I've never felt so loved or accepted by my class...ever. But it feels amazing to feel like I really have support.

As for anyone who didn't vote for me (like most likely Cissa and Holli): Shoutout to my haters, sorry you couldn't faze me!

Thank you. Thank you so very very very much. You can't imagine how much it means to me, really. Thanks.

Love and Cupcakes,
Your Newly-Elected Senate Representative :)
