“I’m overwhelmed… I’m flattered… I’m excited!”
These were just few words I had in my heart for me to express my unexplainable feeling. Perhaps, I’m just an ordinary student with ordinary experiences; also struggles during exams, cries during had times, and enjoys a lot in victory. But this ordinary student was given a very big chance to lead a society with people who are interested in Astronomy, and popularly known as the Stargazers’ Society.
During my freshman days, being a Stargazer is no big deal at all! So what if I gaze the stars and do overnight observation? So what if we look for the constellations and spend the whole night talking about the nonsense stuffs that we can think of until dawn! What’s so interesting with that? If I know, some are just joining that society because of their friends who will be with them during the overnight activities, too. I was a member than by the list, and not by my entire heart.
But, when I was starting to be involved in all the activities the society had, I began to understand the real relevance of being a Stargazer. When I reached my Sophomore years, and became the Vice-President, until I became a became a Junior and still remained in that very same spot, StarG became a part of my life. It became one of my top priorities. It is already my passion, and half of my most memorable moments in my high school life is because I was a member of the StarG.
And now, I am a Senior! As what they say, the busiest and most tiring year as a high school student. At first, thinking about it makes me so scared because I can’t help but be pessimistic! But then, as the days passed by, I don’t know but I’m so eager to wake up each day and go to school. The exciting future ahead of me starts to unfold. Now, I’m the President of the Stargazers’ Society, yes, the President. The president of the hobby club which is composed of over a hundred members, and actually, the club with the largest number of members in the entire school.
Honestly, I am so overwhelmed with the feeling that I have the top most position, but, in the other side of it is a fear. A fear that is caused by full of what-ifs on my mind. Like, what if I won’t meet the expectations of the members? Of Madam Gallo? What if I will be a weak leader? What if we won’t have any memorable overnight at all! But… I have realized that I would really accomplish nothing if I will continuously be insecure of myself. I know that my colleagues won’t leave me and they would always be at my side… no matter what.
