Sweet Mac wants to apply to be on the Student Council at school. She has to fill out an application and write a bit of an essay describing her leadership qualifications. It's actually a pretty advanced set up, and I'm proud of her for wanting to try. It's a hard line to walk as a parent, knowing that these questions are kind of above her head, but knowing the importance of having her do her best with some guidance. Then add in the knowledge that there will surely be other kids whose parents answer the written questions for them, and obviously present themselves better than the average 3rd grader. Her teacher said she takes that into account, and I really hope Mac gets the chance to try this out!
