This year I was the unfortunate soul to draw the short straw and serve as PTA President at my child's elementary school. I opted to say yes to volunteering, or perhaps “volun-told” I was going to accept the position because there was no one else to take the job.
This comes after just one year at our elementary school as the parent of a Kindergartner. I hadn't even attended all the events I would be "overseeing" as president, but went in with lofty and optimistic hopes about how the year would go. Luckily, all I ever needed to learn in life, I learned this year in PTA. Well, at least where schools are concerned.
