student leaders investiture: pt 1 of 2 ⁉️
credits to
@elenatanhx for the inspiration from her long paragraph 🫶
woah. how has my leadership journey flown by so fast? these two years i have spent serving mgs, from being newly elected as an olson house leader, to crying during ltc last year, and finally to be stepping down as the olson house captain yesterday, have been a complete blur. to have gone through my student leadership journey and all of its ups and downs, i wouldn’t have been able to do it without the overwhelming support from my teachers, friends and parents. these key individuals have played such a HUGE role in shaping me into the leader i am today, and i will never be able to thank each of them more tremendously.
to all of my friends who have been there with me through practically everything, i couldn’t have done it without you guys. at all. it is your words of encouragement that have pushed me to be a better servant leader, not only to mgs, but also to god.
and to my amazing fellow house captains for year 2023-2024, this journey has been impeccable. from being first elected as house captains, to the first march-in during the investiture last year, to taking attendance every week, to the “before-going-on-stage-for-an-announcement” pep talk, to the igl project, and finally to the last time we would be marching in during the investiture yesterday, i wouldn’t choose better people to do this with. along with ensuring that we have done our duties, we have also created a remarkable bond amongst one another, and this bond is so treasurable. we have grown so much compared to our first announcement on stage, and along with that we have learnt a lot of values and have many achievements that we never have thought we could have achieved.
and lastly, to the student leadership teachers, your guidance and support have been key in my journey as a student leader. many student bodies only see us, the student leaders, but they should see what is beyond our appearance, what have enabled us to be able to serve our school. what they should see is your endless guidance.
after two whole years of serving mgs, i can proudly say that i have been outvested.
