These shirts are always quality fabric and design . They are to die for ! Honestly , this is the most important reason to run for OJCL office .
Forum and Convention . Helping the adults plan these events is awesome because you have the opportunity to put forth your input and suggestions . And a lot of this input is implemented or at least taken into account ! Being in this position , you help to make events better for all members .
Let ’ s be real : there ’ s always the possibility of losing when you make the choice to run for office . The ultimate goal is obviously winning , but you can gain just as much wisdom from losing . Losing when you run for office isn ’ t a mark of ultimate failure- it is a sign that you tried ! I happen to personally know a lot of people who have lost when running for office , and they have amazing ideas and make impacts on the OJCL in so many other ways than just holding office . Not one of them regret running for office , either ; they all agree that the process of running was an invaluable experience for them despite the fact that they lost . So don ’ t rule out running for office just because you are afraid you might lose — you ’ ll never know what will happen unless you try !

So , there you have it ! Now , get out there and start planning your campaign for state office !
