STUDENT CANDIDATE

So everyone, I want you to turn to the person next to you. I don’t care how well you know them. Selfie with them. If you don’t have your phone, take a pretend selfie.

I don’t care if you like them. For this one moment, you are together.

That’s what I want for this school every moment. For us all to be together. Because we are—whether we like it or not. And if we all say, “Yeah, I’m gonna make the best of it.

I’m gonna make every moment just like that time I hugged my neighbor with the questionable skin and the big league B.O. and selfied,” maybe we’ll all get through this alive.

(Beat.)

Thanks, and, uh, vote for me. I’m also campaigning on a platform of more dances, better food and all the stuff everybody else says.

OK…thanks.
