Always worth it

17 September 2021

I don’t know if you already know this for I have already shared it here, countless of times, but let me repeat it again and again. Hehe

I am a block president, then last semester, I joined in a student organization, and just this academic year, I was once again elected to be part of our section’s council. By the way, this is not me bragging or ranting, this is just me opening up and sharing to you all what I passionately do here at outside world.

Juggling my time in fulfilling all my duties and responsibilities was never easy. This is tiring, I am always drained at the end of the day but the good things is that I was never burnt out, for I love this. I love what I do and this gives me a different kind of fulfillment that I can only found in here.

Yesterday, we have conducted our very first virtual General Assembly for the whole marketing section. And I must say that the whole event was a blast! I have experienced that before, on a face to face setting and that really brings me so much fun, but even in this kind of setting, we still manage to keep the event so much fun and alive.

4.4k comments, that was surely a lot! It was just streamed at Facebook live yet there is so much interaction. The comment section is exploding and there was no dull moment all throughout the event.

We have our host all the way from Silliman University, from Visayas who made such a huge contribution in making the event so lively. The interaction between our professors who treats us more than students, who treats us as their own child was just so heartwarming. And to hear something from our speaker who is also our alumna is just so encouraging. We also heard from our former dean who also studied the same course at us and that surely inspires me to do more.

And then there comes a last performance from our freshmen student and I just can’t believe it is possible that a single performance can make me cry! The freshmen students are just so creative and talented, they cover a song with their own lyrics as our photos from the university when there is still face to face classes are flashing on the screen.

The lyrics, the photos, the memories. I so missed everything. That was such an emotional for us juniors and seniors. It feels like it’s just yesterday when we were being welcomed at the university. We were once the freshies and now we are welcoming the freshmen students as Junior students.

Then, the event was done. I guess it is very much obvious from my words above that I really did enjoy our virtual general assembly.

And here comes the best part that gives me such great feeling of fulfillment.

Our organization was the host for the event, also, it was in collaboration with my council. So nice to be part of both council and organization who made that event possible. I mean, I was not really one among the organizers from our organization but still, so nice to know that I am part of that organization. And the council too! 2in1, yeah.

After the endless paperworks working on the permit for the activity, preparing videos that will be played on the event, the tiring and stressing preparation, it’s all worth it once the event was done.

Actually, it’s still not done for I am assigned in sending the E-Certificate of Participation to at least 300 attendees and sending email to them one by one is really not that fun. Hehe

Still, all the efforts, all the stress, everything! It always paid off. It’s always worth it. And this is the fulfillment that I get from being active in an org and in a council. Never easy but fun. Always stressful but worth it.

I know this is a school stuff that not everyone can enjoy but I hope you can feel my excitement while you’re reading this. We all have our own stuffs from the outside world and I hope that you are also enjoying what you do, regardless of what it is.

May we all be able to find and do the things that we are passionate about and may we have so much fun doing it. No matter how hard or stressful is it, at the end of the day, may we all be able to see and appreciate its worth.

Thank you very much for reading this far. Take care! 😊
