So, back then, when I was just another average 7th Grader, I decided for once to join an organization, the student council. I did not know what to do really, other than make the essay that it requires me to do and the interview. Indeed it was truly a great step for my 5 year younger self. I was not that type to socialize in bigger communities, I really was not. In the whole grade, there were also 2 other people who decided to join the party. I felt as if being the little midget among the giants (the other SMA students). For the first year I felt lonely, knowing that this organization tests my socializing skills which was bad at the first place. Years past and I grew more tolerant and understanding towards the people around me. I know what to do in an organization. I have to communicate with each other, see what is on my priority list and sometimes help organize other people.
There were also several notable things that I have done in the past year. Right before the start of the new school year, me and Michelle S.K. were assigned to organize both of the SOP programmes, the one for the new 7th graders and the one for the 10th graders. It was basically a really new thing because most of the time I was given a backseat role or a follower role. I hated the meetings because I had to speak in front of all my colleagues. It was yet another big step which I learnt from. When I was doing the paperwork, Michelle S.K. had to leave for at least 2 weeks because of family purposes leaving me with 2 inexperienced (I myself was too) SMP students. It was not all that smooth. It did went along well, no major cases of people hurting each other or themselves but it was bland. It was oooo--kay. I learnt how to manage other people, how to speak in front and how to face my fears.
A few months later, I was given another chance to help organize an event called the 2512 Christmas Gala. It was an event that has a purpose in giving donation for children who had cancer. And then I was assigned to head the treasure hunt game. Sure enough it was delivered near our exams I had to manage the treasure hunt AND study for my semesteral exams. Great. And there I was, having to plan the treasure hunt alongside the team and also teachers that wanted to help. Aside from that I also help make the trailer video, which I myself video taped it and edited it. Then it comes to the D-Day, the prep before the show was extensive as well. We had to decorate the rooms and hallways so that it can fit the mood perfectly.
A notable problem during the game was that one of the teams just had to take the clue along with them. There were only 1 clues for each game and it was for every team. Right at that moment the problem was at it's peak, I was called down because I had to perform on stage. Thank God, my partners in the 4th floor hall was able to solve the problem and the treasure hunt went on normally. Other problems such as the people queuing was too many and also the whole treasure hunt not being able to eat (too many costumers) were passed along together persistently. I am very proud in everyone that participated in making the game come true.

Now that I look back, 5 years. 5 years has passed and now I am officially a 'veteran' student council member and I am proud in being the longest running student council member on my grade.
