JOSH EGAN......WHY NOT???

Last month sometime Josh decided at the last minute to run for an ASB office. Activities Co-Ordinator to be exact. Now, except for the time he ran for treasurer at Burton Elementary as did both of his siblings before him (they all lost), he's new to doing something like this. It was just 1 day before the deadline and he had to get a petition of 75 students, 4 teachers and 1 administrator turned in. Before spring break there was a delegate convention. Last week the candidates were able to put up their fliers and posters. Josh's campaign manager came up with the slogan Joshua Egan....Why not??
Josh made some very cute fliers that I don't seem to be able to download....and one night I caught him as he made a poster.
He was quite casual with the whole thing and he seemed confident that he would win. Why Not???
Well....he did!!!!! He'll be inducted at the end of this month. Tonight we got pizza and while he was doing something I quickly decorated the dining room so we could celebrate before we went off to church. For someone who isn't necessarily very confident about himself, he never lacks confidence to step up and do things maybe the rest of us wouldn't do. And it's not always easy following after siblings who have stood out in their own ways......we're just so glad Josh is finding his path......his way. WHY NOT???
