Question

“I can't believe what I'm hearing!” I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate （候選人） for president of Students’ Union. My best friend Tony came to me and said, “I'm   1 , Mike. I really thought you should be   2 .”

Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered him a polite “  3 ” and walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.

“I'm, er-I'm just wondering  4 you would…consider coming to work on my team,” he said  5 . “You are really smart, and you would be a great manager.”

“I don't think so,” I replied, feeling  6 .

“Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow,” he said before moving to  7 table.

With my help, Jeff and our ideas were well received at school.

An eighth grader said, “It'll be like attending a new school with Jeff as president.”

Hearing these words made my heart filled with  13 . I had wanted to become president of Student Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff's team. He became the most popular candidate and I was a large part of his 14 . The fact that it has made a（n）  15 in other people's lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!
