It's just a contradiction of feelings. On one hand, it's a huge relief now without having to deal with official prefectorial duties noe, lesser responsibility and more time to study! (yup, really need to do that for the Os!) But, then again, it's like, I've spent so much of my time and effort doing,thinking, talking about prefect stuff...now to say that I've stepped down, I really am very reluctant!
Aiya, but things have to go on, we've now gotta make way for the new generation. Oh my, I sound so old! haha. I have a lot of faith that the new exco will be one that is resilient, able to face whatever circumstances, able to lead the board to greater heights and MOST importantly, be a GOD-RELIANT exco.
Ok, I know this is going to sound so cliche and all, but it really does seem not so long age, that the seven of use went throught all those nerve-wrecking interviews, rushing to prepare our head-prefect speech, taking turns on the podium, planning the orientation, prom, losing our voices, getting 'angry' when prefects are not performing to the best of their best....all these wonderful memories, the joy and the pain we went through together, I guess it'll be something I'll never ever forget.
I still vivdly remember, we just stepped up, we were all very clear and 'on' about ensuring that in everything that we did, we'll always listen to 'The Voice of Truth'. And I sincerely believe that it was the Almighty God that placed this desire in the very hearts of each one of us. The morning prayer meetings when we gathered in the parade ground to pray for each other and for the board were one of the most meaningful moments. I really felt God working in each of us and being always, always there to guide and lead us. To me, it is very important and significant that we, the then-exco, often said prayers before any event that we're doing, or just praying for out stressed-up prefects, it meant and showed that God was there, that He was the One leading the Exco, leading the board and not us.
It is, therefore, my sincere hope and prayer that the current exco hold on to God's word and always look to Him for strength and guidance, and surely they will gain much and a lot, a lot more.
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!
The 2 years and 3 months and 5 days (approx.) that I've spent in the prefectorial board has been the best of my secondary school years. cos it was inside there that I learnt to speak up and speak LOUD - thank you Mr Anthony! (I'm really glad that I've had achieved something that I once thought was beyond my ability!!)
I learnt to delegate duties and not hog everything to myself, cos I will only tire myself out - thank you WEI WEY, for teaching me that!
It was there, inside the board, that I gained a true friend, who always stood by me in my downest of downest moments, who showed me what goodness means, smsed me bible verse and words of encouragement all the time! A true Welfarian at heart! Abd a young lady after God's heart. - truckload of thanks to BRENDA!
