THE WORST EVENT I HAD EVER HOSTED

     Managing an event is not as easy as it sounds. It requires focus, discussions, teamwork, patience, interpersonal skills and many more. This is because in order to produce a smooth satisfactory result in managing events, many factors need to be considered because what’s going to happen is unknown yet we still would try our best in order to accomplish our goals.

      Back in school, I would help to host an event with my friend Faris as volunteers because we simply had nothing better to do. Usually, the discussion and planning and whatnot would have gone smoothly. One time however, we had to host an event a student council president election. I had a candidate in mind that I would like to help being elected but Faris has someone else in mind. Our reason was not considered bad. We just had different ideals so he and I made a challenge to see who would win, thinking it would made things more interesting.

     The candidate I propose was an old friend of mine who has influence and has always wanted to lead the students in our school. I knew he could come up with creative things in order to make school life more enjoyable but my ideal was that being able to work under him would give be some benefit in understanding how such a charismatic leader would guide his subordinates to a higher vision. Working under him would also make my name known to the school. I knew if I was able to help him became the student council president I could build a new reputation for myself and plan to have a more fulfilling youth.

     Faris however thought that someone who follows the school rules seriously would be ideal. This is because people who have excellent academics and is discipline could be an example figure for the students of the school. Such an old fashioned way of thinking and personally I thought it was boring so I decided to make arrangements in order to secure my dream school life. I made a drastic measure in sabotaging the rival candidate. I expose Faris’s candidate to the ‘darkness’ of the school. It was just as simple as students being lazy, unmotivated, conflicts here and there so in all honesty it’s not something that big. However, by exposing it to him little by little it would accumulate doubt and stress for the candidate. This was he would ruin his reputation and trust from the students as he slowly loses confidence in himself on handling the school.

     It was all fun and games until it went downhill. Apparently, I pushed him too far that he broke and to make things worst not only did Faris was told about it, my candidate did as well because he was concerned as to why he won by default due to his rival’s absence during election. It seems I have reap what I sow. After all my efforts, everything has turned downhill. I lost me friends, my ambition, my reputation and most importantly, myself. I realized I was too selfish and too blind with my ideals thus I had to pay for the consequences. Afterword, my life was not the same anymore. Everyone despised me and I was left alone. If only I wasn’t too absorbed in making my ideals a reality by volunteering to such event my life would have been different. Truly, the worst event I had ever hosted that would haunt me for as long as I’m alive.
