Seeing that she had missed out on introductions, Quinn walked quietly to her podium and stepped onto the platform, hoping to elevate herself to a height where she could see over the top of the podium and at least reach the microphone. She didn't quite manage, having to stand on her toes to add the few inches she needed.

Luckily, she managed to settle in before Fawn posed her question.

"I-I chose to run for class president f-for a few reasons that I-I will share with you n-now." Quinn looked to be at ease, but still had an air of determination about it, despite the terror she felt internally.

"O-One of the reasons is t-that I felt as though m-more obscure tales didn't r-really receive the kind of recognition o-other tales do. I t-thought it would be b-beneficial to the rest of the s-student body if they had someone they c-could identify with in that regard, t-though it seems like the other c-candidates have that covered."

"I'm also r-running for class president because I-I genuinely feel I could be g-good in that position. I-I may be timid, that is true, b-but I'm not oppressive either. I-I wouldn't be a strict president o-or help put into place r-ridiculous rules that only affect a f-few members of the students here." She continued, winding down to her closing statements.

"I-I believe that I can h-help keep this place a productive a-and fun one. I want t-to prove that I-I will do my best t-to help people w-work through their conflicts a-and ensure that the school i-is a good environment f-for everyone. That is w-why I decided to run for c-class president."

Quinn finished off her little spiel, a happy little smile adorning her face. She thought what she had said sounded good, even though she had stuttered through most of it. Her speech problem couldn't be helped after all.

Besides, attitude was what mattered and Quinn had displayed a determined, but still calmly professional attitude. That was what she felt was the best thing about her speech: not the truthful words, but the fact that she carried herself through it with a good attitude. She only hoped it was blatant to everyone else.
