I was a school prefect for 5 years time. I was elected by the teacher to be the committee member of the prefectorial board at 2014. I was very surprised as i didn't know my capabilities were above average as the prefects team was not weak at all. Initially, i'm fired up as this is the first time and the last time to serve in the prefectorial board. I held on school rules strictly and gave my best at accomplishing jobs. Soon, i find it tiring to deal with all the restrictions. Short break times, long duty hours, missing classes often annoyed me a lot. In the end, devils won over angels in my mind game. I started to become lazy, irresponsible and disobey rules.
Prefects are so called the role- model for all the students. My silly actions had been affecting the image of the whole board. Discipline teachers and my fellow committee members called up a meeting to discuss about my attitude. I was criticised in the meeting. They said, even a chosen leader could not follow orders, what about the others? I was stunned, not because i was being scolded, but i realized that i'm really going off track. Teachers had faith on me so they chose me. And my immature actions disappointed them.
After that incident, i reverted back to how i used to be. No more excuses for me to not carry out my duties. Until now, i'm glad that i changed in a good way. I truly appreciate the efforts my fellow committees and teachers put on me, helping me to get back on a right track.
Thinking back, I've gained a life lesson to make myself a better person. I've learnt how to be organized and responsible when you're given a task. Slacking off and procrastinate are the worst attitude one's have while trying to accomplish a task. As a next step, I'll never forgot the lesson i learnt in my form 5 life. This would always remind me to be a responsible guy no matter in what situation.
