and I'm proud to announce that Jack Ray is the official boy representative for his classroom for Student Council! Let's back up some....yesterday, we had to come up with a speech. I had cute ideas and he "poo pooed" them all. So, together we wrote a 1 minute speech that rhymed, he practiced it 2 times then said he was done!
This morning he said he didn't want to do it! I assumed he'd back out!
This afternoon he told us he won, then said matter of factly "I was the ONLY boy who gave a speech, so I had to win." He had said he thought his friend was going to do it. He said he asked him why he didn't and the boy said he decided not to, because he didn't think he would win. Wow! Already lacking confidence in the first grade!!
I'm so proud of Jack! He took a risk and I'm so proud for him! I'd be equally as proud if he hadn't won....it's all about FAITH! He was a little nervous, but he took a step out on faith! I hope this leads to many faith steps in the future!! Congratulations, Jack! You'll ALWAYS have my vote...and my heart! ;)
