On Running for Association President 3/12/2005

I am living in  fog of nerves and disbelief...I am vice president of TW and running for president of our district union next month.  I can barely believe it's really happening.  I feel like it's someone's bad joke and it will be on me...like the ugly girl being asked to prom by the quarterback as a prank.  Why has it always been so hard for me to accept that I am awesome?  Will these teachers really take me seriously?  Can I handle the shit some of them will surely be slinging?  Am I too sensitive for this?  Please, universe, let me be doing the right thing, and if my people put me in the front, let me never hear the cruelty they speak behind me.  Give me the strength and heart for this race, and even more so (if i am chosen) for the job.  And thank you, for giving me the good sense to balance my joys, my rest, and my challenges.
