Becoming SHOrSem's Creatives head was exciting yet challenging. Our core was only given 6 weeks to prepare, from the logistics of our structure and members, to our plans and execution. It was hard and we did hit many roadblocks, but I consider this as a life giving experience overall as I felt fulfilled in using my creative skills in filming and video editing, as well as coordinating with the rest of the core and leading my subcommittee.

This was definitely the greatest surprise of the school year, I definitely didn't expect to become the strand chairperson. I'll never forget undergoing the whole process while SHOrSem was in its earlier stages, from filing my LOI June 30 (which just so happened to by my late sister's supposed 15th birthday), to July 3 when I got the message that I would be appointed, to July 5 when I officially turned over, and finally to July 14 when I was officially announced as the new chairperson. It was tough, I had the most unconventional appointment as my position is meant to be elected but I had to fill in when the original winner resigned. I had many insecurities that still linger to this day, and have faced many challenges from then until today. Despite all that, it's still life giving because of how fulfilling it is, from the people I have met and worked with, the members of the community I otherwise wouldn't have the chance to interact with, the feeling when I see a plan unfold, and the many more that could come.

In November, I had to temporarily leave my position with the death of my great grandfather, my Grandpa Digoy. It was a difficult time, I always feared losing him and it became a reality. I had to suffer through grief again but the bothering thought of the work I left also lingered. I ended up working on several things to organize his funeral and prayers given I'm the eldest of my generation thus prompting my relatives to entrust such unto me.

At that point, I had been working with them for some time already whilst building relationships however, being from Davao City I had never met them. I felt so happy to go back to Manila, now as an ASHS student for the first time, and meeting all of them. I'm blessed to have them and I will hold on to the time we have left together.

This was definitely a challenging time for us as leaders. I wasn't directly affected being in a different city, but it was truly difficult to deal with, trying to help my strandmates from afar and finding the best way to deal with the situation. We ended up being successful with the constituency checks and the petition for an emergency break, but I would never enjoy doing that again

Yes, this is the present day and yes, the project isn't done and yes, I'm in a current life depleting situation. I'm excited to see where this goes and to see it succeed, culminating everyone's hopes and efforts. But I'd be lying if I said it's easy, when in truth it is incredibly difficult. There's so much on the line and so much could happen whether right or wrong, the logistics are truly challenging with over a 100 people from so many teams involved.
