The Elections Journey

Every single day of the last two weeks have been real hectic for me. Elections just kept me so busy, but I must say it was really quite an experience. Some people ask me why I'm willing to go through all these, and I just look back at them and smile. With that smile, I'm telling them that I made a choice I would never regret, and I made a choice which will definitely make my life in University more enriching and exciting.

First it was campaigning and externals with all the posters and pestering of people, then immediately the tiring ROP came which I fortunately survived, then the ten hour long internals. Finally elections is over. Like I said, it was hectic, but what I have learnt and experienced definitely overshadows the tiredness.

I'm looking ahead now. The path has already been chosen but I must say its still rather hazy and misty, hopefully it will be a smooth journey ahead. I'm happy and confident, but at that same time that little bit of fear still resides in me. Definitely looking forward to working with the 27th.

Reuben, Lionel, Xinyu, Rabbit, Nick, Amanda, James, Jackson, Tyler, Shuning, Camy, Kenneth, Josh and Michelle, I see each and everyone of you as a great leader, and a great friend. We have come so far already, so now is our time to prove to the people that the choice they made was the right one, and that 27th will be a group of committed leaders out to make a difference not just in our lives, but in theirs too.

No doubt schoolwork has unfortunately taken a back seat in the last two weeks, and now its definitely time to catch up. Taking up this responsibility does not mean that my studies will start going downwards, it only means that my effort will have to start moving upwards. I believe I can do so.

Cheers!
