Hey Student Councillors!
CUTE Wenzhen typing right here.
As the actual date of the investiture draw nearer by seconds, minutes, hours and days,
I would really like to take some time to appreciate all that you guys have done in the council board and also, to congratulate the about-to-be-invested-peeps.
I don't know about you, but I can still vaguely remember why I actually wanted to join the board in the past.
I really liked the council tie and those senior councillors who walk pass me always give me the 'i-am-cool' impression. I was really fascinated by the thought of becoming one them some day. But of course, when I've was able to join in, it wasn't all about being cool and all.
I often find myself caught up with thoughts like ohmygosh* she complained about my socks length and skirt length again.
Believe it or not, I used to be as notorious.
But as i began to get more accustomed to the rules and attend more meetings and activities regarding council, it just felt like I am part of it and everything.
It felt like I was a part of a family.
I don't know about teachers, I don't know about how much to do or not to do the council, but I know that I am serving my school and my schoolmates.
Don't be discouraged by what you've given, when you've given with what you do not expect. Don't be disappointed when you're not credited, you do not need credits. Let your role be one that's out of will and not out of greed.
Let us not care how much we are able to do but let us focus on what we are willing to do. The council do not need capable people, we need willing people.
May your journey in this 4-5 years of school life be fruitful.
Don't be driven by positions, people, attention or respect.
Be driven by character.
Heys newly invested leaders, congratulations.
I certainly see much potential in you guys. :)
Don't let how much you can do for the board be restricted by how
new you're in the board.
Be bold, just do it.
Every single one of you have the capabilities to be a leader.
All you have to do is to unleash it all.
By then, potentials will turn into strengths,
habits to character.
WITH LOVE.
