The Election

Maya Clarkson is running for class president at Jackson High School in Jackson, Tennessee. She is among the lowest in popularity among the social classes of the school but is willing to make her point. With two other male competitors she doesn't expect to win, or come close for that matter. As a senior it is her last year to be at her school and she is brave enough to finally prove the point that has been nagging at her mind since Freshman year. Her lack of popularity is an enormous obstacle she must over come to make the difference she wants to see ripple through her class. She has a fear of speaking in public and that may prove to be her down fall in the election, but her determination may overcome her fear, or it won't be enough push to get her through the teasing, threats, and mockery.
