“I can’t believe what I’m hearing!” I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate* for president of Student Union. I really thought I should be chosen.
Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered 1 a polite “Congratulations” and walked to my usual table. To my 2 , Jeff came to me and put his plate beside mine.
“I’m, er – I’m just wondering if you would consider coming to work on my team,” he said nervously. “You are really 3 and you would be a great partner.”
“I don't think so,” I replied, feeling unsure.
“Well, 4 you change your mind, you can tell me tomorrow.” he said before moving to another table.
All that night, I thought about the 5 from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election* process would give me a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to 6 Jeff.
7 of all, I began to create a catchy*advertisement. Within a few days, we 8 a poster with Jeff’s pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway 9 passing Jeff’s smiling face.
My next step was to 10 what new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and a volleyball team.
With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster agreed to add 11 we want to our school program.
With my help, Jeff and our ideas were well received at school.
An eighth grader said, “ 12 will be exciting to have Jeff as president.”
13 these words made my heart filled with pride. I had wanted to become president of Student Union to make a difference. Now I achieved that. Jeff became the most popular candidate and I was a large part of his 14 . The fact that it has made a 15 in other people’s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!

One night, I couldn't it any more and shouted, "Dad, could you stop selling your stupid noodles? I don't need a father who sells noodles on the street!" At that moment, dad was shocked.
