参加学生会竞选 五星 1334
【文章梗概】在与母亲玩拼字游戏时，我告知母亲我将参加学生会竞选秘书或副主席，而不是主席，因为认为自己一位白人女孩赢不了参加竞选的西班牙男孩埃迪。然而，母亲鼓励我竞选主席，并为我准备了竞选演讲的服装——一条美丽的蓝裙子。妈妈在缝制时，为每一根蓝色的针脚注入了她的自信和力量。穿着这条裙子，我对自己的信心满满，最终赢得了学生主席的竞选。
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
~Howard Thurman
My mother winked as she asked her seemingly innocent question. “How ’bout a game of Scrabble ”
“You win all the time, Mama.”
“Someday, you’ll beat me. Today just might be your day.”
I acquiesced and set up the board. In 1980, I was a junior in high school, and my siblings were long gone to college and beyond. Mama relied on me for her daily dose of conquering someone.
That Scrabble game in 1980 holds another special remembrance for me. No, I didn’t win. But that night, as we waged war with words, I brought up another competition — one that would change the way I saw myself.
“Mama, student council elections are in two weeks.”
“Uh-huh.”
She spelled out Q-U-I-E-T on a red triple-word space and whistled.
“That’s pretty good, if I do say so myself.” She smiled at me and then started counting her gazillions of points.
“Mama, did you hear what I just said ”
“Uh-huh. Forty-two points for ‘quiet.’ Your turn.”
I looked at my tiles and sighed. I plopped down M-A-K-E-R on a double-word space and counted: 22.
“I like the idea of being part of student council my senior year.”
“Sounds good. Twenty-eight points.”
“So, I have to go to the office tomorrow and pick up a form to fill out if I want to run.”
“Do you want to run for student council ”
“I don’t know. Sounds fun.”
“Fun ” She finally looked up from the board and into my eyes.
“Mother, it will be my senior year. I want to have fun.”
She looked back at her tiles. “Leadership is about serving. How do you want to serve ”
As Mama spelled out a Z word I’d never heard of, I thought about serving. She’d run for elected office in my small town three times, winning the office of District County Clerk.
“Maybe I won’t run.”
Again, Mama looked up at me.
“You aren’t going to run because you have to serve ”
I felt flustered at the way this conversation, not to mention the score, was headed.
“Robbie, think about your talents. What do you have to offer others Once you get a clear picture of that, I bet you that service will sound… well, it will sound fun.”
Mama won the game. I went to bed undecided.
The next day, I came home with the application. After dinner, Mama called me into the living room.
“How about a game of spades ”
The wink accompanied the request.
“You’re on, Mama. I’ve beaten you at spades. Do you remember ”
Mother grinned and started shuffling the deck. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I am going to run for student council,” I announced as we each drew our cards.
“Excellent.”
“But I don’t know what position. I don’t really want to be treasurer, but maybe secretary or even the vice president.”
Her eyes met mine.
“Why not president ”
I couldn’t believe this woman. Mom knew my high school’s enrollment was 250, grades 9 through 12. She also knew that we lived in a town of 3,000 people, 85 percent of whom were Hispanic, 15 percent white.
“You know why.”
“No.”
“Mother, I am a white girl.”
“Really ”
“White girls don’t win against Hispanic guys. Eddie Rodriguez has already told everyone he is running for president. No way will I win.”
“Robbie, what talents do you have How are you going to serve ”
“I think I could be a good leader.”
“Leading Sounds like a perfect talent for president.”
“I told you, Eddie is running. Most of the time, the president is a guy, and Eddie is really popular.”
“So, you are not running for president because you are a girl and your competition is popular ”
“Mother, you don’t understand the politics of high school.”
“Robbie, believe in yourself and who you are meant to be. Do this for the right reasons. Win or lose, play the game well.”
With that, she won our first hand. And the second…
The next day, I drew in a deep breath as I wrote the word “president” on the application.
Mama happened to be an excellent seamstress, so I asked her to make me a dress for my Election Day speech. Immediately, she headed over to Mrs. Woods’s fabric store and found a bolt of royal-blue rayon knit. It was my favorite color and so soft.
“You will look very presidential in this,” she teased me. That night, I went to sleep to the hum of her Singer sewing machine.
The next day, as I sat in the library working on my speech, Susan Banks approached me.
“Robbie, is it true You’re running for student council president ”
I took a deep breath. “Yes.”
“Wow, you got guts. But you do know that Eddie is running, right ”
“Yes.”
“Um, no offense, but you aren’t going to win. Eddie is really popular.”
With that, Susan turned and left.
She wasn’t the only classmate who offered the same encouragement. But I couldn’t back down; everyone knew I was running. Besides, Mama was sewing my new blue dress.
Two days before the election, I tried on my mother’s creation. I looked and felt beautiful.
“Mama, this is incredible. Thank you.”
“Robbie, listen to what I am about to tell you. I prayed for you as I made this dress. It doesn’t matter if you win. It matters that you are being who you are meant to be.”
It was the only time I remember my mother saying she prayed for me.
On Election Day, all the students were herded into the auditorium. Eddie and I sat on the stage with Robert, Laura and Maria. They were running unopposed for vice president, treasurer and secretary. They would give their speeches, and then Eddie and I would go.
As I watched Eddie give his speech, my knees knocked. He was calm and easygoing, encouraging the students to do the best thing for our high school by voting for him. His speech was very short and ended with cheers from the student body.
What had possessed me to subject myself to this Suddenly, I was hot and sweaty. No way was I going to win this.
My turn came, and I walked to the podium and looked out at my classmates. That’s when something powerful happened. I launched into my speech confidently, even making my classmates laugh.
When I reflect on that day, I like to think that my blue dress was my Superman outfit. As Mama sewed, she infused each blue stitch with her confidence and strength. After that day, my belief in myself quadrupled. No longer was I mild-mannered Robbie, scared of revealing my true identity. I was Robbie Floyd, a young lady meant to be exactly who she was.
When I came home that day, my mother was frying chicken on the stove.
“Mama, you will never believe it!”
“You think you can beat me at Scrabble ”
She grinned, but kept focused on the chicken.
“Mama, I won!”
Mama looked up at me. No wink.
“Of course, you did.”

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I couldn’t believe it. As I walked into campus, I saw posters everywhere with the words “Throw out the student union president!” on them.
As my schoolmates began arriving on campus, I watched them gather around the posters and then looked toward me because I was the president. At that moment, I felt that I was torn into pieces and tried my best to stay calm.
When I was elected the president, my friends said it was one of the best campaigns they had ever seen. I started it by organizing a group of students to climb the mountain near our school. When we reached the top of the mountain, it felt like we were at summer camp. We laughed, danced and told jokes. It was really fun. While playing like little children, we agreed to do it again the following week and decided that each of us would bring a new friend.
We started out with a small group of hikers. But as the word spread, the number of participants increased. One day on campus, I met a girl in a wheelchair and we started talking. Her name was Grace. I asked her if she had ever been to the top of the mountain. She said she hadn’t. I told her that my friends and I would carry her if she were up for it. Grace accepted the offer. The next time when we went up the mountain, we took turns to carry her in her chair all the way to the mountain top.
This was probably one of the most meaningful things I did during the campaign. By the end, we had over seventy-five people climbing the mountain on Thursdays, including Grace. All of us who participated felt like we were part of something much bigger than we were. We were building a community and it felt great and no one was surprised that I had won the election.

But I was so proud of my accomplishment that I let my pride out of control. I began speaking down to people, demanding they listen to me. My friends and supporters tried to communicate to me that I had changed and that I was abusing my position, but I wasn’t listening. It wasn’t long before the very people who had trusted me began to turn against me. But I still wasn’t paying attention and even had public conflicts with them.
When I realized I had made a mistake, I decided to change. I used to think that I had to pretend to know what I was doing and that I was in charge. It was that kind of thinking that got me into trouble in the first place. Now, I was finding that the easiest way to gain other people’s respect was to admit to them what I did not know. I felt greatly ashamed. Eventually, I finished my term as president.

But I was so proud of my accomplishment that I let my pride out of control. I began speaking down to people, demanding they listen to me. My friends and supporters tried to communicate to me that I had changed and that I was abusing my position, but I wasn’t listening. It wasn’t long before the very people who had trusted me began to turn against me. But I still wasn’t paying attention and even had public conflicts with them.

It was that kind of thinking that got me into trouble in the first place. Now, I was finding that the easiest way to gain other people’s respect was to admit to them what I did not know. I felt greatly ashamed. Eventually, I finished my term as president.
