So, I'm entering grade 12 next year and there are a bunch of head positions for grade 12 students in the school. One of these positions is the "arts" head position, and I'm running.


There's only one problem - I'm up against one of the most popular girls in the grade, and although she's pretty nasty to many different people, she still has a lot of support. Go figure, huh?

I'm very qualified for the position - After all, I'm an arts fanatic. I enjoy drawing, acting, dancing, and sometimes singing if no one's around, so I've got a stockpile of qualifications to list out. She only sings, which I believe is a big advantage I have over her.

However, that's probably not going to be enough. I have to get up and present a speech to grades 8 - 11 (about 150 people not including 35+ staff members) in a month, and I've never read a speech to a crowd like that before. Heck, I'm not even that popular of a student. Everyone knows me and is nice to me (well, mostly everyone), but I still feel disadvantaged. I'm not part of a 30+ person choir, who will probably back the girl up because they only know her, not me.

Anyone got tips on how to win this thing?
Because I want the position so damn badly, it hurts.

(And yes, I'm going to put in my qualifications that I lucid dream.) ;D
