My daughter wants to run for student council.
She mentioned it last week, brought home a form to fill out about it. I told her we'd work on it over the weekend. Came home today from a wonderful visit with Clarissa to find it's all done.
"Mom, can you help me edit this?" she asked.
She had to list four things about herself. This was what she came up with:
1) smart
2) sensitive
3) kind
4) brave
Her platform will be one of healthy food, and treating others with respect. Of course fund raising for field trips and parties will be of utmost importance.
She has to give a speech to her class on Tuesday, stating all of the above.

Insert breath.
If she's going to be brave about this, so am I.

Riley, you GO! It's so awesome that she can see all those qualities in herself... because she totally has them. But to be able to see them in yourself at her age is pretty amazing!
I also think this is very cool. I wish her (and you) luck!
From the mother of one incredible young woman to another:
You Can't Stop the Beat.
You cant stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill...
'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But i never ask why
Damn. Crying again. I think I need a spoon.
She will be great!

All this as she waits for the dog. Just imagine the things she'll be willing to try in a month!
Rock on, Riley!
OMG! Go Riley indeed!! Can't wait to hear how it all goes.
Btw, also glad she's yours not mine, I couldn't stand the anxiety!!
Fantastic!
OMG I see the "girls on the run" group endorsing their fave candidate and wearing "Run for Riley" t-shirts :-)
Ditto Wanda!
Wow CZ! Great idea!
Hurray Riley! Can I add 4 more qualities to the list? You are also focused, empathetic, creative, and a leader! And braver than me!
Love.
