Time for Change

I know I have always complained about how busy I am and how everything has, in some way, killed my social life.

The fact is, this IS my life, and maybe this even is how I socialize, in my own kind of way. I am getting myself out not by going out every night, not by having fun all the time, but by working hard on what I believe in. I am busy, but I enjoy what I do, because I know at the end it all works out for the best and I would not trade anything in the world for the beautiful memories I have collected.

The more I think about it, the more I know I should not complain about anything. Though busy, I still manage to take break once in a while to do what I want, I have great friends that understand how I am and stick with me through the end, and the most important thing is I am happy with what I have.

However, it is now kind of late for that realization. The time has come for me to give up one of the biggest responsibilities I have taken in my college years until now, the President position of the International Student Council (ISC) at UCO...

Before ISC, I was Miss Asian UCO... The whole experience was so wonderful that right after giving up my crown, I ran for ISC office. I wanted to be a part of something much bigger than myself, I wanted to keep giving back and working for others, and that was probably one of the best decisions of my life.

Honestly I was the "underdog." I knew it for a fact but I went for it anyway because I knew I got nothing to lose. However, I was proven wrong. Apparently people believed in me more than I thought they did, and I now know how blessed I am to have them around.

I have enjoyed every moment along the way, for it had helped me learn and grow a lot as a leader. I am also glad I got a chance to prove to the people who did not believe in me that they were wrong. I am not perfect, but I have been trying everyday to better myself, and look, I did it. I survived. I am truly proud of who I have become, all thanks to the opportunities I was given while in office and the people I got to know.

The election is tomorrow, and I am so ready to see a new era of changes and leadership! Not only the new President, but I myself will enter a new page of life. Of course I will be sad, but I know that good things end so that better things can happen and I just need to prepare myself for them.

Bad things and bad memories are gone, and everything that is good and wonderful will stay with me, forever.
