It Ends tonightFinally, today's the 20th Investiture. Finally my terms of office ends. When i looked at other councillors, they all shed tears even before the event started. Some shed the tears of fulfillment and achievement, some shed that of missing the good old days. Indeed there's a mixture of emotions, mixture of good and bad.
Indeed i should be happy that my term of office finally ended. Perhaps human adaptation indeed is slow, it seems that only just these few days i enjoyed being the councillor: the one who the class people looked up to, the one my peers looked up to and most importantly, my own person i looked up to. It seems that just only these few days that i realised that i have to work hard being a councillor, i told myself to thrivee for the best in whatever i do. Yet now it seems everything had ended. However, I have not regret my term in office. It's in council that i'd seen the real world order the system is functioning, which in deed every actions of one individual has an impact on another. Those fellow councillors did left a footprint in my life. Each unique, each special.
On the other hand, I may be gonna miss my status as being the councillor. Jokingly, I used to be the boss in the class, looks like now the class rep is going to dominate the class. There's no political conflict nor the cold war, just trying to adapt as a commoner in the class. Looks like i'll have to thrive in my acedamics to be the boss once again. I may have retired, yet the spirit still live within me.
Most importantly, now i have to face the coming waves of challenges with optimism. In the past, I may use council events as a reaosn to bluff myself for the poor expectations i received, yet now the only reason that i fail is gonna be myself. With the stepping down today, it can meant that i have retired and may not receive the attention as a councillor anymore, yet nevertheless, it meant more freedom in expression and more flexibility in choice. Perhaps now it's time for me to work doubly hard to make up for all the academic losses in the past. Since others can strive, why can't i?
Never give up without a fightFurthermore, most importantly is that in the past, I've been married to council and now with the subsequent separation, I'm officially a part-time student and part-time lover. These few days I thanked her to spend my every night with me. I'd admire her when she's willing to be with me bravely even knowing that our time together will be a challenge. I'm so proud that I'm with a person like her. Although these few days our contact is to the minimum due to her other activities, yet i believe that as time comes, we will have more time with each other. Now her dream has become part of my dream, and i shall help her to acieve her dreams.
Now only these song can describe the feelings now: It Ends Tonight - ALL AMERICAN REJECTS
