Elizabeth was nominated because "not only is Elizabeth our ASB President at Commonwealth this school year, she is also the only girl on a flag football team and (we believe) the only girl on any football team for the league." As ASB President, she wants to make a positive impact at our school by helping to get school lunch that will be eaten and thus, making less waste. She ran for office because her parents always encouraged her to have confidence in herself. When her parents were young, they didn't have so much confidence. They wanted her to feel encouraged and know that she could accomplish anything she set her mind to. She and her dad share a love of football, they watch videos of Drew Brees together. Her dad also plays catch with her and shows her how to hold the football so that it spins correctly. Her confidence has grown on her team as the boys have learned to include her in as just another teammate. Her greatest triumph so far was catching the football in a game and running down the length of the field to score a touchdown. |
