I know my blog has been dead for sometime now but I assure you, I did not come back to rant. This update is way late but I'm still going to write on about it.

I guess you've all read Kevin's post about the elections. I wasn't really planning to run. But I thought that it wouldn't hurt if I gave it a shot and so I did. I ran as Secretary of the S.E.B.(Student Executive Board). As the Miting de Avance drew closer, I couldn't help but think,"maybe I shouldn't have agreed to running..it would be a lot easier with less responsibilities..and I'll enjoy my last year here..". But every time I think of chickening out, one thought kept on telling me to go through with it. And I did.

The room to room campaign was a nightmare to me. On the first classroom that we went to was Grade 4(my sister was in that class.).I cannot describe my embarrassment that time. I did not know what to say! And when I was done I said I was running for President! After that I hid behind some of our fellow party members. Ugh! that was the worst! But as we went along,I got the hang of it and eventually survived that day.

During the Miting de Avance,when I delivered my speech(I lost my voice for a moment that time..x.x), I said that "I don't want to leave this school without facing my fears. I did no want to leave the school without at least knowing that I can actually do this."(something like that..) And it's true..I'm terrified of public speaking. I don't like speaking in front of people but after that day I felt better. I faced one of my fears and even though i stumbled on a few words,I did it. And I was right to go through with it.

After getting the results of the elections I found out that I won(even though I ran..I wasn't really planning on winning.ahehe..). I thought,"ugh! more things to do..". "but then again..,", I thought.
Being a secretary isn't exactly new to me but taking down important things during meetings was one task that was new to me. Usually I'd just take the attendance in class and help out the teachers a bit, but nothing like my job in the S.E.B..

The Miting de Avance was a nice experience. It gave a boost in my confidence which is great since I'm not really a confident person.

It's just the start and I'm sure that there are still a lot more things given to me and a lot more busy days,but I'll manage..^_^x
