Well so much for homeschooled kids being social recluse who can't interact with people. My daughter took her first dual enrollment course this past fall and she has become very involved with student government (SGA). So involved in fact that she is on the campus several times a week and she just launched a campaign for SGA President.
So far the kid is out marketing her competition with flyers 4:1 or so, and she was paid a high complement by her SGA advisor. The kid actually sent out emails to all the professor's asking if she could come speak to their classes. Advisor found out about it and was sort of dumbstruck, she said "I never heard of anyone doing that, your amazing" (or something to that effect, I wasn't there of course).
The campaign window is very short, we should know Tuesday night or Wednesday morning the full result, I'll let you guys know.
A cool benefit of being an elected officer is 16 hours per semester of tuition free college. Not that it makes a huge deal to us financially as her dusk enrollment is free anyway... But she seems really excited at the idea that she would be earning her way on her own.... Proud Dad no matter how it turns out!

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

That's awesome! I love that she's into the idea of paying her own way!
Wait...but what about "socialization"? My favorite question!

She fought a good race, lost today by a handful of votes.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

That's still pretty cool. I hope she tries again next year. It's not always easy beating the incumbents or people who have been on campus for a longer amount of time, but with that kind of determination and dedication, she'll probably get a seat next time.
Course clear! You got a card.
