Do you think this is even remotely fair?

At my school, to run for homecoming you have to have a club to sponsor you.

I’ve been a part of my schools French club since I was a freshman.

I’ve attended every event, every field trip, and every meeting when others did not.

So I always figured if I did run for homecoming I would be sponsored by French Club.

We have to be voted to be a candidate by our class mates.
I have two girls running against me, one of which I believe is in French 1 and this is the first meeting she’s ever attended probably because she just wants to be sponsored, she’ll never come to another meeting after homecoming I guarantee it.

The other I don’t mind so much because we get two candidates and I know she’ll be one because the class is full of her friends.

No one really knows me in the club even though I’ve been there for so long and worked every event.

The girl who just joined to be a candidate isn’t necessarily more popular than me but I feel like the kids in the club are more likely to vote for her because she’s more well known.

I’m considering talking to the teacher about this because I feel it’s grossly unfair that I can be devoted to a club throughout high school and not be sponsored by that club just because that girl decided to join just to run as a candidate.

What do you think?

Unfair?
