Hi loves, here I am to dedicate this post to my vest haha. 5 years in high school has seen me being both a class monitor and assistant, and we finally *drum rolls* have a vest for it! Haha. I don't know why I'm thrilled with the idea. Probably because class monitors weren't given a fancy school attire in the past (or maybe because the vest is somehow cute, haha). Le friends will kill me for saying that but they are supportive of the idea (right? :p) Anyways, it may seem ridiculous that I am actually blogging about a vest (for goodness sake, I hear ya'll talkin' there darlins) but oh well, Belle loves what Belle loves. 

Being a class monitor/assistant comes with responsibilities, which I somehow seem to lack. Like the tin cans, and the  cleanliness of back of the class. Sometimes I just feel bad about the attendance which I always (inconveniently) seem to forget to take, and this PnP file which has to be sent. I've been thinking about it a lot over the days, those little brushes of irresponsibility and decide that it's time to do my job without slacking. *sighs* It's so tempting to be lazy! 

But over the years, being a class monitor -despite my slacks here and there- has taught me a thing or two about being a person. There are times when monitors and assistants have to make split second decisions about the class' financial needs, the class' appearance, the unity of residents in that particular class etc. Though how teeny-tiny those decisions appear to be, it feels like a little insight into the big piece of Life's essential skills. It has helped me a lot in making my daily decisions, aside from dealing with people, which I feel is useful in terms of what I might wanna become in the near future (Public Relations Officer, Journalist) which, of course, my mind has yet to decide hahaha. 

I have been blessed to have such amazing partners over the years. Assistants -though less glamorous the position might sound- play a huge role. Like Mel (my partner), she has to deal with all sorts of problems more than I do at times. But she's strong, I love you Mel! No easy job, not even half the prefects or class monitors love their job. We cry, believe me, sometimes in the dark corners of our rooms thinking about the responsibility. 

Bottom line is, when you're given a responsibility, why not take it instead of pushing it away? That way, you'll learn that there's more to life then just being constantly under the rules. I learnt that lesson, and it's been a wonderful journey. We don't have to necessarily break the rules. Or twist it. We just gotta make it fun, and make sure the people who we're leading, aren't underdogs. Their just the same. 

Never abuse your position.
