i'm sorry jon..you still have my heart
this entry is about debate..if you dont want to read it then dont..just dont complain about it if you do
LET ME START OFF BY MAKING IT CLEAR THAT I IN NO WAY AIM TO CHANGE THE RESULTS BUT IF PEOPLE APPROACH ME ABOUT WHATS WRONG I WILL VOICE MY OPINION:
My main problem with the outcome of this election is captainship. I assumed that I would be captain next year, seeing as how I was captain this year and have done nothing to deserve to be denounced from the position. My coach has thought otherwise. He has given new criteria for next years captains. They are as follows:
1. They are to be juniors seeing as how seniors will have to much going on with graduation and last shot at nationals.
2.They will not hold any other office.
3.They will not serve for than one year.
If those rules were followed and implemented upon every individual i would not have a problem. But, as always it seems that I am the only one getting screwed over. First off the new IE captain, Katie, is a senior. More along with the first is that Karel, new debate captain is a junior but has more going on than I do. Karel runs track and is one of the leaders of Amnesty International. Karel and I are both going to nationals this year, and it has not conflicted with me leading my division so why would it next year. Secondly, both Katie and Karel are holding other offices. Katie is the new president so how is it that she can be president and a senior and able to handle these new responsibilities, but I wouldn't be able to? Also, keep in mind that my division is much smaller than hers. The only rule that seems to have held true this year is that they will not serve for more than one year. But, looking back in recent years Erin, Andrew and Amy have all been seniors, held more than one position as well as serving for multiple years.
Personally I would rather be debate captain than be vice president, which I now am. My division specifically is more important to me and I feel as if I have a bigger impact on them than I would on the team as a whole. Not only do I feel that this choice is going to put a divide in the division unintentionally but I also foresee it dividing the partnership of Karel and I because I feel betrayed in a way by him accepting or at least not turning down the offer. It is not Karel's fault, directly, that he is next years debate captain but I feel like I deserved it. Above all I think I'm truly hurt by the actions of both Karel and Mr.Rocca because I feel betrayed by both of them and it hurts to continuously put trust in someone and have them let you down time after time. All of this might sound silly and frivolous but it isn't to me and I needed to vent.
Done. With it all.
