Election Promises
It was Election Day at Sunshine Middle School. Erica was running for student president. “If you elect me president,” she shouted, “there’ll be no more yucky food! And no more school uniforms!” All the students cheered loudly. Erica was confident. She’d spent a lot of time finding out what the students disliked.
Now it was Michael’s turn. “I cannot change everything students don’t like about the school,” he began seriously. “But I promise to work hard for you.”
“Boring!” Erica thought. She knew she was going to win the election. When Michael finished, the audience clapped. After the students voted, all the votes were counted. At the end of the day, the principal announced, “The new president is Michael!”
Erica was really surprised. She could not understand why the students voted for him instead of her. She’d made promises about all the important issues. Her best friend, Jenny, came running up to her. “Erica, I’m so sorry,” she said.
“I just can’t believe it, ” Erica began. “They must have counted the votes wrong. I’ll ask them to count them again!” Jenny shook her head. “I’m sorry, Erica, but there was no mistake. I didn’t want to tell you, but all the students I know voted for Michael.”
“I don’t understand,” said Erica. “The kids were cheering at my speech. I told them everything they wanted to hear.” “That’s just it,” said Jenny. “You made popular promises, but everybody knew that you wouldn’t be able to keep those promises. They thought you’d say anything to get elected.”
Erica knew one thing for sure: next time she wouldn’t make promises she couldn’t keep.
What is Erica upset about
a. Losing the election. b. Losing her best friend.
c. Getting caught lying. d. Problems in school.
