The day started out in the auditorium. The principal gathered my class together and announced that there would be a debate between the candidates. The students started to cheer and clap in excitement. Principal Granger asked the candidates to join her on the stage. While the candidates prepared themselves for the contest, I started talking to my friends about the election. No one could decide which candidate they wanted to win. Most of us wanted to hear more about the candidates' ideas. We believed that there were many factors we should cor der before making a final decision. Then, Principal Granger started the debate.
