[Flashing back to how I come to this point...]
To become a member of the society, we have to fill in a form. Actually, I've rejected to fill in the form twice. Reason is, I feel that Chinese Language Society is really not my style. I mean its activities, objectives of the society, and all. But there were some activities which I've joined and liked them very much, such as camps and being a stage crew for a concert. At the 3rd time when I was offered the form, I finally gave in... (Things will definitely be different now if I have persevered till the end....)
Then came the Annual General Meeting of the society!!! *Deng deng deng deng* The AGM had to be held twice, because in the first time, they took almost four hours to elect a new president!!! Apparently, no one wanted to take that post. (This is soooo much different from girl guides. That time, we really have the spirit to play our own part in girl guides! =) ) For the first meeting, I did not attend because I have an Accounting programme. Then for the second meeting, I thought, "Well, it's nothing, just go there to vote, although the meeting might take a long time." Besides that, my senior also told me, if the Chinese Language Society failed to elect a new committee, then it will have to be "frozen" for one year, and all activities under it will have to be stopped. That time, we were going to have the concert that I mentioned earlier, and it must not be cancelled! So, I went to the 2nd AGM.
At the AGM, which I still remembered clearly... It was in the process of nominating people for the post of secretary... I was telling a joke to my friend, "什么卡通人物最喜欢帮助别人？---多拉A梦， 因为伸出＂圆＂手。" Haha! Then, suddenly I heard my name being called! Oh no, who nominated me??!! That person was a senior whom I had met just a few days ago in a talk that they had organised, but I was the only non-member to attend the talk, so they got to know me. I rejected; then she nominated me again; and I rejected again. Luckily they didn't nominate me anymore, I thought. It was quite terrifying, I tell you! Once nominated and before you reply either accept or reject, the seniors will come near you and kept persuading you! Oh, for your information, if someone is nominated thrice and rejected all 3 times, then he or she cannot be nominated for that particular post anymore.
A new 总秘书 was "born". Ok, safe--- My heart was still beating very fast due to the shock. I never thought to be in the committee! Imagine, being at the top of the top of such a LARGE society!!! I really didn't believe that I have the power and right to be in such a position, as I have only started to join a few activities recently. There were surely more suitable people.
Then, the next post - 组织秘书! Again, nominated. This time, I think I was influenced by those seniors who kept pestering me about the benefits that I can get, about how much I will learn, etc. I actually accepted! Then have to go out so that everyone can vote. Sigh, once accepted, no need to look at the votes... No need to wish that I fail the voting session... Of course almost everyone will vote me, because I was the only candidate, no one else wanted to take the post, and also because it was already past midnight and they wanted to end the meeting as fast as possible.
[Coming back to present...]
So, that's how things happened.
I thought before,
if I did not go for the AGM, then I would not be where I am now...; or
if I did not attend the talk a few days ago before the AGM, then I wouldn't be where I am now...; or even
if I did not fill in the membership form, then I would not be where I am now!
But...
Things are already how they are now... I just have to accept it and do the best I can!!!
DeeJay! You can do it!!!
Just do your best and enjoy the process!!!
