Despite having a deadline tomorrow, I still decided to blog to pen down some thoughts.
Until now I still ask myself, why did I choose to run Engin Club then? Was it really a calling, a calling for me to serve the students in need? Or was it pride, wanting to be the leader of students? I am still unable to answer this question. The past 6 months has been filled with tough roads. Time, effort, heart and soul, poured into this position which people don't even give a damn about. I am sure many people would have felt that it wasn't worth it. For me, I don't know. But one thing for sure, when someone compliments about something positive happening around Engin and it's an effect from our initiative, I can feel myself smiling, having that sense of satisfaction that I did bring a smile to someone's face, or I did make someone's life better.
Student volunteers will always be under-appreciated. Be in Engin Club, NUSSU or even a Block Committee in Raffles Hall. It always come secondary to studies, sports, and other hobbies. However, it is only after you embark on this journey that you find it enriching and fulfilling.
Also, my stay in Raffles Hall is ending. 6 weeks to go to be precise. At the end of these 2 years, I realised that it's the people in hall that makes you wanna continue staying. Playing sports competition with your friends, go through rigorous practices with your friends, endure tough preparation with your friends, these are probably everyone's motivation to stay in hall. As my term as a Block Director draws to a close, I am very glad to have my bunch of members to put in their effort to bring Block 4 to greater heights. Not to forget the lovable Prof Yap, always providing us with assistance anytime we need. Despite me leaving soon, I really hope that the next batch of JCRC members will be of high quality, be willing to put the hall in front of themselves and last but not least, not let the residents down. You may start of as a mediocre leader, but if you put in the effort, your improvements will definitely be tremendous.
Emotional much. Haha. (:
