“I'm, ... er, er—I'm just wondering you would... er... consider(考虑) coming to work on my team,” he said . “You are really smart, and you would be a great partner.”
“I don't think so,” I replied, feeling .
“Well, if you change your mind, we
are meeting tomorrow.”
All that night, I thought about the offer from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election(选举) process would give me a to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them.
My first goal was to an eye-catching advertisement. Within a few days, we completed a poster with Jeff's pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through the hallway noticing Jeff's smiling face.
My next step was to which new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a club.
With the information I had collected, Jeff had a conversation with the headmaster. Soon a volleyball team and a football team were to add to our after-school programme.
Many students said, “It'll be like attending a new school with Jeff as president of the Students' Union.”
Hearing these words made my heart filled with a of achievement(成就). I had wanted to become president of the Students' Union to do things for students myself. Now I've achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff's team. He's become the most popular candidate and I am a big part of his success. The fact that it has made a change to other people's lives is the real . What a great feeling!
