"I can't believe what I'm hearing!" I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate (候选人) for president
of Student Council. My best friend Tony came to me and said. "I'm sorry, Mike. I really thought you should
be

Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered him a

walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.
"I'm, er-I'm just wondering if you would …consider coming to work on my team," he said

are really smart, and you would be a great manager."
"I don't think so," I replied, feeling unsure.
"Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow," he said before moving to another table.

activities to our school program.
An eighth grader said, "It'll be
10 like attending a new school with Jeff as president."
Hearing these words made my heart filled with

Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff's team. He became
