The Secret Of Me

FIRST PERIOD

I used to be a shy and passive girl. I did the same routine activities, school, study, practice basket, and many more, but mostly i only focused in my study. I didn't join any organization nor any committee. My zero-percent-of-confidence made me really hard to communicate with others. And maybe that was the reason that they didn't ask me to join any activity. I have ever put an interest of joining such that activity, but my individualism prevented it. I convinced myself that those were useless to join in.


But as I continue to study in universities, I meet many people with different characterization. And I start thinking that I need to learn how to communicate with them well. That's why I decided to try joining the Senate of my faculty last year. For me, that was a big choice. I didn't have any experience, and I didn't know anything about the work of an organization. With 50% confident, I applied to the Senate.


And I was accepted! I was really happy on that time, even I wasn't put in my choice of division. They asked me, which division did i like to join in.. And my answer was the non-academic division. But I couldn't get what I want. I was in Internal Division with the 2 others. Each of us had our job desc. My coordinator would take the Care Motion Project which is our Christmas Celebration. My other friend would organize the FLAT (Family Learning Trip). It was a kind of "makrab" combined with such a learning trip or study tour.
And I... was responsible for the Mading, FOR-FSM, and KOSAN. Mading or "Majalah Dinding" is like an information board which is displayed attractively. FOR-FSM is a forum for the FSM members, which would be held to discuss a big problem related to the faculty, so that we can solve it together. But until now, this forum hadn't been carried out. The last one, KOSAN stand for "Kotak Saran" or the advice box. I had a little problem with this, I didn't get the permission to put it in the faculty office, since then this box was removed. So, my main job is the "Mading".


I didn't very surprise why I got this job desc. I had several times being asked by my friends at school to help them with their a-kind-of-creative projects. But honestly I feel a little bit disappointed with this job. I thought it as a "easy" job. But later, I found it was not easy, especially at the beginning. I didn't really know about the Mading actually. I couldn't imagine how to decorate this information board so that people will read it, or at least look at it. I browsed the internet, but I get none. I did it with my lack of experience and "knowledge" of it. The first time was worst. >.< .. Then I tried and tried to make it more attractive. But I can't deny that I have been very lazy and bored with this job several times that resulted a non maximal mading. But lastly I did very enjoy with this periodic job. I am very happy when people interested to see my mading. I have several pictures to show you...

These are some tools and materials for Mading

Maret 2011

And now, this period of Senate has ended. My periodic task has over. We had done many things this one year, I hope that everyone was satisfied with our job. It's time for the new Senate to continue what had we done...


SECOND PERIOD

I learned a lot from the last period of Senate. As a part of Senate I had to show responsibility that had been entrusted to me. I couldn't just let the Mading away of my daily activity, I have to make it every month even I have so many campus task to do. Then I need to arrange my time and plan a schedule for doing this Senate job. I also learned how to communicate with others. Even until now, I still found a difficulty in communication, but it is better than last years. In my opinion, I haven't give the maximal one from Senate as I haven't get the maximal too. Then I think, I should try once again. Everyone said Senate need you" ( read : 'you' is not only refer to me), but I said "I need Senate". And I apply to the new period which is led by my friend (I am sure he will be a good leader). I have some reasons that  encouraged me to join. And happily, I am accepted for this period, my second period then.

But again, I was put in my second priority of division. If last year I chose the "non academic division" for the first one, and internal for the second, then this year I wrote the contradictory one. My first choice is Internal, followed by non academic. Yeah, although I feel a little bit disappointed, but now, I feel better with this decision. I am sure that I am positioned in the right one, just like my last period. Internal division, was the best for me. And maybe for this year, "Academic and non-academic division" is the best for me. Umm I forgot to tell you that the non-academic division has been combined with the academic division. Even I haven't got the full "image" about this division's job yet, I will give the best as I can do. I want to give more impact through this division. Hope I can do well.. ^^

And because we haven't done anything yet, except the first gathering, I can't tell you anything by now... While waiting for the first meeting, I shall think about some ideas first about what should we do through this Academic and non academic division... Do you have any idea? ...
