SRC Member
Assalamualaikum, all~!
As of yesterday, alhamdulillah, I was elected to be among the board of SRC students in the school, which is a big responsibility. Firstly, if, by any chance, any of the others are reading this, congratulations for receiving this honour an opportunity!
Admittedly, I was not expecting to be elected, and no, I'm not being humble or anything. Both of my competitors nominated themselves in the first round and I felt very small standing with them, as I wasn't self-nominated like them. Few simply find me capable of the job and put me on the list. Given their manifesto and campaign speeches, I would've thought them convincing and that they would pull more votes for themselves. Nevertheless, I am grateful to be given this chance to become one of the leaders of the school and I'm hopeful that I am truly capable of carrying the heavy burden of responsibility.
The term 'leadership' seems to be chasing after me since the start of the year, haunting my senior position in Dar Izzah as well as my presidency of Journalism club. Now that I'm also a part of the SRC, I am here on the same high step of responsibility my cousin had endured last year. She was also the president of Journalism club, the SRC, and one of the seniors of Dar Izzah of the year 2017, plus president of Volleyball club. Imagine how much responsibility all that is! And she still managed them all fine, though hardly smoothly.
Also another thing with the word 'leadership' highlighting my start of the year is a youth leadership programme my mother had me signed up to. It's a three week trip to the US for free, only for those chosen; and there's a form to fill to find who are the worthiest ones to lead their nation/community. There were about five essay questions that I had a hard tie answering, but with the help of my parents, I submitted it, along with my cousin, exactly on the day it's due.
I think I've already wrote a post about the SRC election and everything I understand about it two years ago, but now I've developed further understanding that I would like to share. Even though we have not yet settled on a meeting for some ice breaking and briefing of whatever shenanigans we have to do this year, I've already seen the outside view, after listening to all of the SRC candidates of Dar-Izzah's manifestos and speeches.
As I've explained many times, SRC is most related to leadership and handling the school, whether it be events, equipments, safety, etc. When it comes to leadership, the first thing you need to have in you is confidence. In a previous post, I've explained what I understand from the word 'confidence' and the misconception between 'confidence' and 'conceit'. Now here, the 'confidence' I mean is trusting that you are capable to execute this duty, believing in your decisions and intuition, and knowing what you're doing. If you don't trust yourself, not confident in yourself; how do you expect others to have confidence in you?
Last year, we have been blessed with one of the best SRC presidents of Sri Ayesha; Farah Adila. Her story of how she became the SRC was bizarre, and it inspired me to step out of this comfort zone and give SRC a shot. I don't believe it had ever happened, but Kak Farah volunteered herself to be the president, and that awed me entirely. How can one have so much confidence that they can carry a huge responsibility such as this? It's fascinating. Even though we lacked a few annual events last year and they might have received complaints, they still did their best in the job and made sure the school run smoothly.
Now, it's a fresh set of SRC members starting to run the school, and we're all intrigued to be chosen and anxious to know what lies ahead of us. I, for one, can't wait to organize some events and contribute my ideas! I know, I know, it's not an easy task and I shouldn't be excited. But even if it's difficult, I'd be willing to donate my two cents to some of the most interesting events of the school.
Anyway, some acknowledgements. A shower of gratitude to my parents for supporting me and encouraging me to become a greater leader. You guys are the best! One day, I'll make it up to you by becoming the leader and person you want me to be, inshaAllah.
As for my dear friends, thank you soooo muc for those who have supported me and went on this rollercoaster of life with me, shaping who I am and accepting me for that. You guys are wonderful, and for your sake, I will provide what the school needs to become better, and for our community to move forward.
That is all for today's post. Thank you for reading, awesome readers!
