A Memorable Journey as an SSG Officer
A journey worth remembering
I have been an SSG officer for three years. SSG Senator for the first two years but this year, the third one and of course my last, it’s all different. Being one of the council’s eight major officers, being one of those the lower years’ officers look up to made this year’s service much harder yet challenging. At first, it was hard for me to adjust in regard with our works. We were always excused from classes and I wasn’t used to that but as time passed by, I began enjoying the tasks we need to do in spite of the pressure. Planning activities isn’t that easy but with the cooperation from the council’s other members, we did it all. Not every activity may be planned well but at least I could say we did our best. Two of the activities I’d never forget would be the Intramurals and NDEA’s Closing Ceremony. We went through a lot for those activities to be successful but it was all worth it. Nights spent for planning, days under sun and rain for decorating, lunch breaks when we brainstormed, all of those weren’t wasted. They’re part of something I am proud of as an SSG officer. A lot of sacrifices were also done as an SSG officer. Being out of the classes, missing so much lessons, going to school even during weekends just for planning and beautifying the student body’s activity isn’t simply an effortless job. There were misunderstandings at first but those made our council stronger. A lot cried because of too much pressure and because of not knowing which thing to do first, what to do and everything. In the end, a lot of new friendships were made. Students from different year levels were bridged to reach a united goal. Different memories happened, ones we’ll treasure even after we graduate and of course, we’ll never ever forget the learning especially about leadership which we all learned from being an SSG officer.
