Yes you read it right! Lost by one point womp womp….lol.
But, it was a fun run and exciting to the very end. It was neck and neck… but SOM came up victorious!
Am I upset? No not at all! Yes, the TOFA award would of looked sweet next to my “Second Grade Perfect Attendance Award” on the shelf….hahah… But have to look on the positive outcomes:
I may lost by one point but I made so many new fans and friends through the voting process! In addition, losing by just 1 point has created a buzz about this second placer. (Read articles) Wooot!
