—Vince Lombardi Friday, September 12, 9:29 p.m. Winners and Losers Today was a day of winners and losers in Faraway. This morning was the SGA assembly and election. Billy was a winner. But everyone knew he would be. And Sophie was a winner too! Everyone seemed to like her new girl platform. She was so poised and sounded so passionate when she talked about giving everyone, even the new girl, a chance. I think people really connected with what she had to say. She really killed it in her speech, plus she rocked a retro ’70s look. And she was so enthusiastic. When she found out she’d won, she was thanking everybody, even though she didn’t know who had voted for her. Emily was also a winner today. At dance practice, Ms. Baumann announced who she had chosen to perform the grade solos at the dance show in November, and she picked Emily to dance the ninth grade solo. Not that Emily was surprised—she’s clearly the best dancer in our grade and one of the best dancers on our team. But still, when she found out, she was so happy.
