What Is "Volunteered?"

Ben told us tonight that he is a member of the Smoke Rise Elementary Student Council. We asked him how he became a member. He didn't say anything immediately so we prompted him, "did you volunteer?" He replied, "No. Everyone in class was told to put our heads down on our desks and then Ms. Jordon came over and said, 'Congratulations, you are going to be our Student Council Representative.'"

"Nature vs. Nurture, Zack. And Nature always wins."
