Lexington TAB Online

I'm running for re-election!

Hello all, Laura Webb speaking — er, typing. As you can probably tell from the subject line, I'm running for TAB President again. Lemme tell ya a bit about my personage...

I'm a 15-year-old sophomore homeschooled only-child here in Lexington, KY. This'll be my fourth year in TAB.
I have a dog in a wooden box above my piano (she's cremated), and a cat who likes to step on my face while I'm trying to sleep. I also have two parents who think my cat is theirs. I also have a rather odd sense of humor.
I consider myself a moderate in beliefs and temperament: I value diplomacy and compromises rather than the typical goal of "unwavering, un-compromising leader" so many politicians today seem to strive for. This means that I can get along with pretty much everyone — goths, preps, liberals and conservatives alike. This also means that I have a wide range of crazy friends who constantly argue with each other, but that's okay, I’m a “people person.”

I'm not just a member of TAB, I'm in other organizations, too — this will be my third year in 4-H, and my first year in Roots 'n' Shoots (a program started by Jane Goodall). I've volunteered at places like God's Pantry Food Bank, the state fair, the Explorium (formerly the Lexington Children's Museum) and it's annual Museum-Go-Round, Teen Court, and a nursing home. I've also been a volunteer camp counselor for two years at 4-H camp. If I can manage 30+ kids in the woods who freak out whenever they see a garden hose because they're convinced it's a poisonous snake, I think I can manage teenagers in a library. :-)

I think I should be elected TAB President for both the reasons above, and for my skills. I can be a leader in nearly any setting. I'm organized and responsible (to a level of OCD — I even have a special TAB-folder with a built-in filing cabinet!). I have good equipment for a wide range of purposes. I have connections in many different fields: I know people from New Mexico to Chicago to Pennsylvania to France, I know people in many different organizations — if I don't know someone in a given field, chances are that I know a sister of a friend of a cousin who does. I get things done, and celebrate after successes — I created this site, after all. ;-)

Well, I suppose I’ve rambled enough — the rest will have to be left to the general populace. À la Fortune!
