THE BEST EVENT I HAD EVER HOSTED

     I never really liked managing an event. Managing is not something of my expertise and as someone who prefers living a relaxing life, managing a temporary event would just give me unnecessary stress and time consumption. It’s not that I’m unable to do it though. It’s just something I would avoid as much as possible. Dealing with people whom you hardly know, instructing stuff for them to do, long period discussion and so on. It truly is a bother. Or that was what I thought until a certain incident happened.

     I had a friend, Alia, whom you would call a perfectionist. She doesn’t like it when people give half-hearted efforts when doing tasks. She is the complete opposite of me. We don’t talk much but being in the same class plus with her good appearance, nobody wouldn’t know her. Anyway, she is the type that would want everything to be done as smoothly as possible without any flaws. Even a slight complacent from one person could irritate her.

     One day, our class were discussing on what event we could do for our school’s annual event where every class need to host some sort of entertainment for everyone in school to enjoy. The class decided to host a haunted house for our class’s project. Alia volunteered to lead the preparations for the event. Being the perfectionist that she is, she get straight to work by dividing work to our classmates. People were all excited for the event so nobody really complained. However, there were always complications.

     While everyone was indeed excited, a lot of people were slacking off. All they think about was having fun. This made Alia furious and she scold some of our classmate for not taking thins seriously. She would even go far as to stay back at school just so she could finish things that was undone however she could. Unfortunately, one can only go so far alone. If this continues, she would break apart. Therefore, I took it upon myself to help.

      I did quite the length just to give a helping hand. I gained permission from school to use anything I could get from school store considering there were history records of countless events happened before. I was given permission to use anything there was there as there was no other students that even considered that option. I also asked permission from the sewing club who aren’t involve with preparation for their own class events for assistance to make the costumes. The club president gave me the green light thus I proceed with making arrangements so that my assistance could produce some results for our class project.

      Alia was shocked by what was happening. I told her that there was no need for her to shoulder all the responsibilities and suffer without even being able to enjoy the main event herself. She was grateful and the preparation went smoothly. On the day of the event, everyone was able to enjoy the school event and our class was able to get many positive reviews about the haunted house.

     I never really liked managing an event. However, being able to see the fruit of my efforts and making the people around smile because of it made me feel like it was worth the hassle. I doubt I would ever get myself involve in managing anymore events in the future but considering a rarely to this, I would say I did a good job. It’s not exaggerating to say that this was the best event I had ever hosted.
