AYLC: Contemplations

I just attended the FEU-AYLC Orientation at the Nursing Multi-Purpose Hall. Though my attendance in the caucus had caused me to rush academic matters after (since I had to finish my output in Sociolinguistics!), it has, in turn, made me feel a lil excited. Though I've heard a lot about it before, I felt re-oriented as Mr. Fritz of OSACS officially invited us, junior scholars as regards to the matter.

I saw familiar faces in the hall: Ron and Sellicha of the ORADEC, Donna of TAMVOL SIFE, Chumie Marga (who was actually a seatmate) of IASSC, and a number of MassComm scholars (hell yeah, there making a difference so to speak!). Well, my colleagues in the English Language were not with me (since, as i said, we still have to accomplish academic requirement).
The orientation has actually made me sank in deep contemplation, thinking about my status as a student leader. Have I really been making a positive difference (as my line in SIFE competition run)? What may be the things which I can reckon as accomplishments? or maybe even better, how do I concretize 'accomplishments? Along with these are questions like: how do I , now that i'm in my junior year, fare as a campus leader? have I been helping the university with the realization of its mission-vision? These queries and more have silently reflected on the mirror of my thoughts as the orientation a while ago advanced. Nonetheless, these are equally important concerns that are ought to be cleared out so that I will be able to develop a more positive self image as a leader.
(so much with these poetic thoughts!)
Meanwhile, it may be saddening that, for the first time, no one last year was able to make it as an Ayala Young Leader. My friend, Ilo, however, has made it to the top 140 (that's already a feat, mind you!). Just the same, I still believe that FEU is still a genuine haven of effective student leaders!
