sj for homeroom rep!

Yesterday morning, SJ told my husband and myself that he was running for Homeroom Representative. We were both a little surprised. I really shouldn't have been since he was mentioning something about it a few days earlier. He had asked me on Monday what they do.  I said the reps look out for the students' best interest.

Back to yesterday, he told us that he wrote a speech as to why he would be a good rep. Here is a copy of his speech.

In case you can't read it, it says the following:

Hello, my name is SJ, and here's why I should be a homeroom representative.  If there is too much homework for you, maybe I can make the teachers have all students have less homework.  If the class is boring, I can make the class less boring.  Also, I can tell jokes to you if you're really down in the dumps.  That's why you should elect me as a homeroom representative.

P.S. I got my eye on you.

He was to give that speech yesterday during homeroom.  I praised him on his funny speech and told him to try his best.  My husband and I were so proud that he wants to do this.  It is often puzzling to us that our typical child never wants to do these things.  SJ, who should be more socially awkward due to his diagnosis, just wants to be like any other 7th grade student.  I will let you know what the results are in a few days.
