The grass was still wet when I got up. It’s 7 am July 29, 1920. The big day. After a night of tossing and turning, I don’t know if my stomach can handle the turmoil ahead of me. Maybe three deep breaths will relieve some tension. “Let’s get ready,” I say to myself out loud. I’m all dressed up and ready to go. All I need to do is eat something to settle my stomach. My bagel and cream cheese do little to change my nerves, though. I’m taking my car to the signing. Ol Betsy, my car, doesn’t help my stomach in the slightest and just makes it worse. I have arrived. I go over my checklist. Hat, check, coat, check, notes, check, last but most differently not least and most important, the bill, check. I entered the building with such anxiety everyone chuckled. I guess my anxiety is apparent enough for them to giggle. I don’t blame them. However, I still wish they would pay me no mind. Things like this never help my nerves. I’m at the congress voting floor by now. After pacing around and trying to calm myself, I head in. When I head in, everyone is seated and ready for me to begin. It’s time. I speak once I get up to the podium. I am quite proud of myself, but I feel I could’ve done better still. I spoke with such vigor and passion I cultivated the whole room. They listened like children when you show them the world for the first time. They were children. Once I finished, they all clapped as if they could never again. After everyone voted, my colleges congratulated me. Some congratulated me on the speech, some on my excellent work, and some on my accomplishments. Some friends and I went out for some drinks after. I’m still in awe of my work and achievements. I hope I can top this achievement once more.
