Qualifications to be class president in first grade — according to Ashlyn, they were told to consider the following before casting their votes — the president should be nice, listen to the teacher, do their homework, and not jump on the stairs. The teacher wrote all the kids names on the board and told them they couldn’t vote for themselves.
Ashlyn voted for Rachel. (I like Rachel too.) They couldn’t tell anyone else who they voted for.
The teacher told them that the one with the most votes would be president. The one who came in second would be vice president. The president would get a special hat, and the vice president would get a headband.
The votes were cast.
The next day, Ashlyn came into class…and found a hat on her desk.
I’m so proud.
As president, she must help all substitute teachers and help out generally around the class (does that include tattling? I’m fairly certain she’s quite good at that.)
President Ashlyn.
So, what does that make me?
