Getting started

The excitement of being editor-in-chief has settled, not out, just settled.
My team and I met today formally for the first time though we are all well acquainted. Funny how we all applied at the same time.
We had an early morning meeting with the dean and head of activities to orientate us on our roles for the next one year.
 I must say I was impressed by all committee members for their commitment illustrated by how each kept time. I mean, ten minutes before the interview, we were all present. I pray we keep the standard.
The tasks will be pretty demanding coupled with the fact that we have to hit the ground running since we're a bit late getting into office. But we're tough cookies. We will make the best yearbook ever!
The targets are high, our dreams so huge, the expectations soaring and we gonna make it real! Watch this space, ok, not exactly this one but yeah, I'll be sure to let showcase the yearbook here when the time comes.

A pleasant surprise

 Today has been an exceptional day. Getting greater things than I had expected is certainly a bucket load of sunshine.
I had applied for a position in campus as part of a year-long committee that presents the opportunity of a lifetime. The interview was rigorous and I gave it my best. I knew I did well so I expected to get the position. What I had not anticipated was to be recommended for a higher post, heck! the highest post!
When the news was broken to me, I couldn't believe. I kept thinking it was a dream and soon I'd be back on earth, that was until I saw my name on all campus noticeboards in bold. What a feeling! I felt like I could fly.
I entered class and my colleagues referred me by my new title; being called editor-in-chief in a journalism class is an honour and trully humbling.
I am grateful for the panel seeing the potential in me.  Brace yourselves for the best yearbook ever! and that's a promise.

Now faith means that we are confident of what we hope for, convinced of what we do not see.
Hebrew 11:1


Being great doesn’t necessarily mean being impressive, or being obsessive, or being anything other than how you sincerely wish to be. Being great means being great at being you.
