time, time, and time again

The end of the school year is coming up so fast. I hate to be the emotional sensitive kid I am, but I can’t help it!! Today was Students’ Councils last meeting and it was just really sad. The meeting itself wasn’t particularly sad, although at the end of the meeting all the Councilors said their own little “good-bye it was fun” speech. I was realizing everything was wrapping up and coming to an end. We planned the budget for the next year’s board and it just hit me really hard because the next meeting of SC will be in the fall. I can still remember this year’s first meeting clearly, well I remember my interview to become a councilor most vividly actually. I was scared that I wouldn’t get the position, although I always did have the confidence in the back of my mind because I could recall my very extensive history with student governance.

I remember walking into Council Chambers not knowing a single person. Everything was so new and shiny and the people… they all knew what they were talking about, and it was quite intimidating I have to admit. Now I can freely express myself around them. I’ve grown so fond and comfortable with them I couldn’t imagine governance without them. Now, today, when I was peering outside the Council Chambers windows it looked like spring, the sun was setting and lit up the sky is magnificent colors of orange to pink. Everything’s over and the cycle will be starting up again. I have to thank SA for the many things it’s done for me; I’ve changed for the better as a advocate, as a student, but mostly as a person. I’ve been privileged to have had the opportunity to participate in such an organization.

The weather is a wakeup call. Things are boiling down. Time to put my gears to full throttle… There’s not much time left.
