" i look back with the best & worst memories i have had and the people who have enriched my life-the onec who made me a better person."
i was once called ms. president. getting appointed to the position of president of iv-st.augustine..should've been more shock. saying it was a shock because i was absent when the election of officers was conducted. to my surprise some of my friends visited me in our house bringing the good news.
"hey fatimartha u r da president of the class!"
dont get me wrong but at first there was never any intention on my part to be one of the officers in the cream section of auf-is even if i was known for being the gutsy & madeskarte type of student in our campus. as for me, i wanted to have a blast & do good in my academics in my last year in highschool.
at first, there were times when i feel.. i dont deserve my title-MS.PRESIDENT..in our school, being an officer in any organization mean a lot..-its a big deal! later on, i finally made up my mind
to accept the responsibility entrusted to me..besides, it was a great opportunity. i know it wont be easy, each day presented challenges that had to be overcome..i need to monitor the attendance, the cleanliness,observe the school policies,update our bulletinboard,prepare bday parties for our favorite teachers,conceptualize,pick participants for the upcoming school programs,discipline my fellas,be a model student(duh?ako model student?haha),check of all canned goods have been submitted in my hands(bigay puso program ng auf-is..)..watelese? fotocopies for the handouts(tnx tilaps for d help,haha!)..even the differences of my classmates,im usually the one who fix da mess.. a time came when coordination with my co-officers became an issue..others were personal, others questioning my abilities & the need to build my capacity to be an effective policymaker.(at tyms, im the lawbreaker: blush on..sinking socks..tardiness,hehe)..as time goes by, im starting to enjoy the power..the trust..the expectations & all..it became my ticket to be close with my fellow students&the admin too..im so overwhelmed everytime they call me at the director's office to be part of the brainstorming team to some of the school programs&projects..(the parents encounter..waste management program..leadership trainings..xmas party for the aetas..marian rally*remarkable one!!..the grad ball whereas i really poured out my heart,sweat&soul for it to be successful)...
it felt so good..having the chance to contribute for the benefir of the student body. though there were so many tears..pressure..sufferings..& all just to prove my worth as the president of the class. it was the point of my life where i really felt the pressure,stress...experienced sleepless nights..but it was all worth it.
i've learned lots of things & i was able to reach out to so many people. I must admit that im not perfect but each time i commit mistakes i make sure that i correct them. Now that i no longer hold the position & im onto my college life already, i still have in my heart all the memories & experiences ive learned in my four-year stay in auf-is*absolutely still the best skul!!...the best comfort i have is that a part of me has been shared. it was a true happiness. happiness truly comes with doing what you love, it is the same happiness that allows me to let go & move on. another chapter of my life has been closed.
