15 Cups of Hot Tea Later

Lately, I have been having trouble within my Student Council group. Now, for those of you who don't know, I am one of our two Co-Vice Presidents. My partners name shall remain hidden to protect their identity. Now, back to the trouble. 

Our Adviser to Student Council is leaving us and we want to do something big for her. My partner and our President came up with the great idea of throwing her a party. Now, other than our election campaign speech, I haven’t read anything publicly without my partner having a verse in it. I seen this school-wide party as the chance to make my voice heard and jumped at the chance to do so. I began to write a speech. Seeing as my partner and the President were in charge of this whole operation, I sent a message to them over Facebook asking them if I could read it at the assembly… My PARTNER then replied pretty much with, we’re in charge here, don’t take over.

All I could think is how am I taking things over? All I wanted to do was read a speech! I then began to blame myself for all the drama going on, but hey, nothing a little hot tea won’t fix.  A few days later I got the go ahead to read my speech at the assembly. But, then today, along comes my best friend who has spoke in front of the school numerous times and says she wants to do one too. So then comes Mr. President and says oh well you’ll have to work with Spencer. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND I WANT TO DO THIS ALONE? So I try my best to incorporate my BEST friends ideas into the speech I wanted to read ALONE, but then she basically says no, I want to write it from the ground up, not just incorporate my ideas. Guess what though, IT’S THE SAME THING!

So what do I do? Well I become the push-over that I always am and allow my BEST friend to completely destroy my speech that I had written to speak publicly alone. So now, I have to write an entire speech over on Monday, and read it with her. Don’t get me wrong, I love the kid, she’s amazing, I just kind of wanted to go solo on this. You know, just, put my voice out there. But, whatever, I don’t even care I guess, I’ll just go along with things and keep my two “superiors” happy.

Sorry for the vent,xx. Spencer
