Saddest Moment in 2008

I made this blog before the end of 2008 so that whenever I look back to 2008, I could say that I had such a good year.

My saddest moment in 2008 is when I was eliminated in the student government election in our school. I was not sad because I lost. I was eliminated due to a person factor. My party mate wants to be the head or president in our party as well as wants to run as president for the next year in the student government. Unfortunate for her, a graduating president and I were the ones who made up the party and heading the party so we have a voice on the party. I was the running president for the party. She would be the vice-president. She kept on arguing to the graduating president about her side. She argued that she is a better leader than me. She has lots of friends to support her. But, I also argued. She may be better than me but on whose point of view? I have more experience than her in terms of leadership skills for I head lots of organizations in our school. I organized lots of school activities than her. I know the ways in the office. Essentially, I am way ahead of her yet. And yet, she insist that she is better than me in everything. I even said to her that she is so arrogant about her skill and she don't know how to stop her bickering. She kept on insisting about it and we have not yet able to make school platforms for our campaign.

I was so afraid of what might the other members of the party would think about our party, so I decided to give her the position she wanted and I am please already if I am her vice-president. The sad part is on the deadline of filing of Certificate of Candidacy, she replaced me with someone else. She changed the name of the party and telling me that I don't belong to the party anymore and I will go find another party to lead. I was shocked at that. I didn't expect her to do that. She was our Miss Silliman; a pageant in our school during founder's day celebration of our school. A pageant that would showcase the beauty and brains of the contestants as well as their morals. She also came from a Catholic school and a very pious one. But, she is a devil. A witch. In short, she is a person of no values and virtues. Buecause, after what she did, I started to question the values and virtues she have. Another sad part is that the other members of the party did not support me or even question her about her decisions. They even sided with her. They were even happy to oust me in their party.

I feel sad about it because those persons where the persons we, the graduating president and I, chose to be the leaders of our school. And yet, with the actions they have done, I feel sad on what kind of student government would it be once they take their positions. They may be the good ones for in my party, we don't pick the incompetent ones. But we are deceived by them. They are cruel people. People who don't have values and virtues. They just go where the are secured. In short, they were insecure. They won't do anything unless their position and reputation will be in jeopardy. I feel sad about it for it is like a dooms year for the school. Many voters are totally against it but I could not do anything about it.
