In my school, we are having a student council for the first time. The fifth graders can run for president and vice president. The fourth graders can run for treasurer or secretary. The third graders do their own little class president.

I think this was a very good idea to have our own political system because we are close to choosing our own president for the country. This is good for us kids to try to experience voting.

I tried to run for president but I didn’t win. I am happy for the people who might win though because I think they are responsible enough for the job. I am proud of myself for trying though.
