Backstory
In grade 10, Jane enthusiastically entered the running for high school President. The result of the election was a tie between Jane and Tracy, a grade 12 student. A runoff vote was called for but Jane decided quickly to concede and allow Tracy to enjoy her last opportunity to be President. The experience mattered most.
An interesting tidbit
As everyone who knows Jane would attest, she is a dyed-in-the-wool fashionista and you will never see Jane wear the same outfit twice.
