It was in just a few moments that the butterflies in my
stomach turned into a huge ball of excitement. This was the moment when I went
from being just another student to the President of the Students’ Council. This
did not register in my mind at that time, and it is still not completely in my
system yet. I won’t disagree that the process and journey to becoming the
President was not a piece of cake. It took intimidating interviews, hours of
campaigning and overcoming my stage fright to get here. A good leader is
someone who does not walk in front of the crowd, but walks with the crowd,
develops consensus to achieve end goals. This is what I will follow. My job is
to voice my fellow students’ opinions and lead them through correct paths
towards the end goals.
I am extremely fortunate to have the fellow members of the
students’ council as so enthusiastic and clear about their goals. We all are
really compatible and make a good team. I do hope that this will result in a
quicker and easier decision-making process. I am positive that the coming year
will be full of fun and good memories.
