Ever run for office?  (School, club, organization, politics, etc.)  Did you get elected?

Sort of…

When I was in high school, for some reason I ended up with the nickname of Bob. Don’t ask me why…I’m still not sure how it started, but it stuck. So one day, during the elections for student council, a grassroots campaign got started (also not my idea). “Bob for president!” They had posters up and everything. It was annoying at the time, but as it went on I just went with it. From what I hear I got a bunch of write in votes.

Actually, that whole thing played a large role in my “opening up”, I suppose would be a good term for it. After that I had a lot more friends. Before, I had a problem with figuring out if people were joking around or trying to be hurtful. After that whole experience, I think I figured out how to fit in a little more with my classmates. Hmm, that didn’t come out very coherently, but it’s not really that easy for me to put into words either.

I think I mentioned the transformation previously. I’ll have to see if I can dig it out.

UPDATE: Ah hah! Here it is.
