on being bold

EXHIBIT A: my roommate jenna.

jenna had a big goal. her goal was to be the student body president at SUU.  she was determined to accomplish it. she debated like a champ. she campaigned like a champ. she lost in the primaries by 12 votes. she was sad. i was sad. i know how much she loves this university and the hard work she had put in before the campaign even began through speaking with clubs, organizations, and administrators.

being bold means putting yourself out there and having the courage to break precedents and try something new. being bold means speaking your mind even when you know people might not agree. being bold means being fearless while leading a group of people to action. being bold means staying classy and positive even when you feel defeated.

jenna, you are BOLD and i am so happy I got to be a small part of your big goal. fortune favors the bold, and thats why i know there are bigger and better things out there for you. thanks for teaching me about taking risks and trying new things.

Bagel this is sweet. Jenna is a great definition of bold, whether or not she won. I was amazed by her from day one!
