As I cried in my room that evening, I 40took a deep breath and decided I wouldn’t stop dreaming. I decided that I would 41elections again in my final year at school—and I would win.

I recognized that my 42had a lot of things in their favor. What were the 43that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest 44was the faith I had. I would not allow my 45appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I 46my election plans a whole year in advance.

I realized that girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to 47them. I loved making friends and I liked being helpful, 48I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage. In order to learn how to present a great election 49, I also attended a course on effective public speaking.

Suddenly, I realized that I had 52much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people 53the way. I had won the 54and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and 55their day.
