Uncertainty can be felt in many situations in our lives. It is one of the things i hate most about life, being uncertain. It drives us crazy but it really measures our potentials. It tests our character.
This night was so tiring. Elections of the new set of TUBAW officers as well as its deliberation took us more than three hours. Everybody was so eager to hear the nominee’s flatforms or plans for the organization. Also, the willingness of the aspirants was also tested or somewhat judged. Along the deliberation, I can also feel the pressures screaming inside in each nominee standing in front of us because for once I had also experience it. Some of the nominees were speechless in answering the heart-attacking questions of the members. Others didn’t have the bravery of facing another challenge and the guts to take risks. There were some that judged their capabilities and we were really disappointed on that because we think she/he can do it. Well, above all, nominees know their own strengths and weaknesses.
Every little thing was criticized. Every little speech was listened to. Every little marks on their faces was observed. In short, the security of electing the responsible and committed one is a necessity. The new leaders of TUBAW should be as strong as the previous or better.
The voting part was so confusing. Even if we know each other, the feeling of uncertainty dominated to everyone. The uncertainty that requires our bets. The uncertainty that risks our organization. We know there performances as a member and as an incumbent officer but we were not sure on their capabilities as they hold powers and again to the incumbent ones. Will they become effective? Will they still hold on in times of problems and failures? Will their performances become better?
I just can’t explain why I am very much concern on the next set of leaders in my dear organization. I’m afraid to make mistakes in voting so I really trying to weigh things properly. I know every vote of mine is very significant. For me, it is just a normal feeling of a senior member in the org. Maybe because I don’t want that my family here in UPLB will just vanish as I leave this school. I will do everything so that TUBAW will not become just a past memory that greatly affects my life. Long live TUBAW!
