It was the time that I know I could not continue my life with the title of a \u201cnerd\u201d anymore. Besides, I know my strength in helping people to solve their problems which I always obtain my self-worth from this\u2026\u2026 Coincidentally \u2013 I saw the poster of Student Council committee recruitment at the notice board. At that time, the newly elected President and Deputy President of the Student Council were looking for potential candidates to join them to form a new Student Council committee board. Without further consideration, I registered myself with the application form and went to an interview on a Friday morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon, I received a confirmation letter that addressed my acceptance into the Student Council committee board started from the 2018-05 Semester. Apart from the upper management, the Student Council has 4 different departments which each of the department has its responsibilities and tasks. The departments are: The initial position that I have received was a member of the Student Welfare Department. I was extremely happy and determined to get myself ready to serve the students with my best. One semester later, I have been promoted to become the Head of the department. I was indeed more determined to perform better at my new position and bringing the positive impacts to the students as the Student Council member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During my service term in the Student Council, we have organized and participated in several events in the university. I was not only in charge of the student service and on-duty at the Student Council Counter, but I also joined the organizing committee for numbers of events. Below are the lists of Student Council\u2019s events\/activities happened in the 2018\/2019 service term and my involvements in all events: Apart from involving in activities carried out by the SAA and organising our own events, as the Student Council members, we are required to attend the meetings with the Senior Professor Dato’ Dr Khalid Yusoff (Vice-Chancellor and President of UCSI University) and Associate Professor Ir. Dr Jimmy Mok (Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Academic, Student and Alumni Affairs) that held once in every semesters. During the meetings, we will voice out and discuss the students\u2019 issues as well as propose better alternatives to solve the problems with the upper management. It was the chance where students\u2019 issues can be properly delivered as well as necessary assistance and solutions from the university are promised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Recalling back my journey with the Student Council, it was indeed a very tough job I have ever done. There were a lot of hardships that students usually cannot see yet we had to face the critiques and complaints from the students. It was never easy to become the mediator between the students and the management. Other than that, there were thousands of commitments and efforts that we had to put into the services to enhance students\u2019 experiences in the university. Not to mention, we had to work under extreme pressures, no free time and physically\/psychologically exhausted because we are the student representatives, people are putting their expectations on our shoulders\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the experiences in service as a Student Council member was bittersweet. Even though I was weeping for a few times due to the council matters, I have also achieved the goal that I want to make some difference<\/em> in my university life, which I can say they were all giving me positive impacts: With all those miserable and good impacts I have found within myself, I am sincerely grateful to the Student Council that has given me so much unforgettable memories during my university life. I never wonder I can become a student representative one day and successfully transfer the ideas into actions to help the students. No matter how hard my other members and I have gone through in these 4 semesters, joining the Student Council is no doubt shaping me into a better person and guiding me in the right direction. It was my honor and pleasure to serve in the Student Council, and I am proud to be one of the committees in this organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Farewell, Student Council, wish you the best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: If you are looking to make some difference<\/strong> in your university life just like me, please do not hesitate to join the Student Council! The newly elected President and Deputy President of 2019\/2020 Student Council could announce for recruitment at any time, please be aware of the further notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cHello\u2026\u2026 how can I make your day BETTER?\u201d – it is the slogan printed at the back of Student Council t-shirt.
