It's that time of the year when the true potential of the Academics Chair shines. With "so much to do with so little time" just how am I going to handle everything? Here is a small gist of the things that I need to plan, coordinate, host, help, or accomplish at least by the end of February starting with the so-called "simple everyday" activities:
- 16 Units of Upper Division Business Classes
- 20 - 25 Hours of Work a week
- Study Sessions: Monday - Thursday two hours a day
- Academics Month: Workshops every Tuesday and Thursday
- In charge of fundraising and philanthropy for February
- Kuya/Ate Program: 2nd Grouping and Pairing
- Family Program: Ice Skating
- Barkada Family Reunion: New event created by me to bring back Barkada Alumni
- Alumni Banquet: Yearly event to celebrate the Alumni and give thanks
- Pilipino Graduation: As president, I still have tons to do with committees, the MCC budget request, MCC meetings, the admin fund, the website, deadlines, appointments, interviews, etc. It's an entire separate club on it's own with so many duties to be done
- Study Nights: Finals Week
- Graduation: Staying on top of my courses to graduate on time
- Sportsfest: LARGEST Pilipino Sports Tournament in the United States, though I am not in charge of this event, I'll be playing a big role with helping out our Sports Chair as much as I can
- PACN: The major night of the year that most members remember Barkada for; once again, I am not in charge of this event, but I will be trying my best to help out as much as I can
And this is yet still a SMALL gist of things that need to be done. I'm not even including the meetings, planning, promotion, and the fact that I'm still in the moving process switching locations.
I don't think you can completely comprehend how much work this is unless you're actually doing the planning.
Lord help me, but I can guarantee you, I will be an Academics Chair to be remembered. I'm doing something great, not only for myself, but for the members. I'm already so very pleased with what I've done with the Family Program and Kuya/Ate Program; so far every pair loves their counterpart. The members chose me because they believed that I can do it; and I believe that I could. I'm doing something new, I'm doing something amazing, and I'm doing something great for this organization. I'm still amazed to this day how many people have come to up to me and asked, "Jared, I need some academic help, can you help me?" as well as "Jared, I LOVE MY KUYA/ATE/ADING! Great job!"
... But on the real, I LOVE being Academics Chair; there are only a select few individuals who can really do it. And for those who have done it, you should know exactly what point I am in right now and hopefully agree with me completely.
Currently feeding on motivation to keep me going... along with coffee.
