From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always

 31  my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader.

Years flew by, and soon I was able to take part in the elections,  32  I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn’t had a chance. I wasn’t pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it  33  to win a school election. I was depressed.

As I cried in my room that evening, I  34  took a deep breath and decided I wouldn’t stop dreaming. I decided that I would stand for elections again in my final year at school — and I would win.

I recognized that my  35  had a lot of things in their favor. What were the  36  that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest strength was the

 37  I had. I would not allow my plain appearance to hold me  38  from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I began my election plans a whole year ahead of time.

I realized that the girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to  39

them. I loved making friends and I liked being helpful,  40  I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage. In order to learn how to deliver a great election  41 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking.

The day after the election, when the principal announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students  42 . That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was also theirs.

Suddenly, I realized that I had  43  much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people  44  the way. I had won the  45  and 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 brighten their day.
