On Standing Up
0
I just made one of the biggest decisions in my college life. I will be running for office next student council elections.
Last Tuesday, a member from one of the major parties in the college invited me for a meeting. I had no idea it was about the invitation for running in the next election. I was caught off guard so my initial answer was No. Office has never crossed my mind ever since entering college. I'm also heading another nonpartisan organization that's why there might be a clash of conflict in the future. And I hate speaking in public! She gave me time to think about the offer but I said there's only a 20% chance I'd run.
But then when I was on my way home, I considered all the pros and cons of actually accepting the invite. I even asked permission from my parent and my other org's co-officers and they were fine with it even though I'm still not decided about the matter. So I asked Papa God for a sign and He gave me a full moon. Haha
I dont know what really happened but before I knew it, I already messaged her my decision.
