Tuesday

a presidential poem

Tonight was the end-of-the year banquet and it is one of my last responsibilities as the UCLA ITE student chapter president. It was a little bittersweet for me to spend time with my officers one last time. I'll definitely miss my board and this year serving as president. Here's a little poem that I wrote for them :)

I remember this time around last year 
I had many many many fears 
DIdn't know if I could plan, organize, or lead 
But alas, I took charge because of a need 

But over this year without a doubt 
I never felt alone, day in and day out 
Now I'll share a few examples 
of how this year's board helped me through the battles

Boss Janet answered all of my questions, 
and Susan gave me lots of suggestions, 
I never had to worry about Elaine 
and her emails and gifts were the opposite of plain 

Chip always reassured me that it would be okay 
and Michael heard me rant, probably every single day. 
Allison always tried to bring the hype 
while Dario was more of the chill type 

Winston was always there, but only in spirit 
And Zach simply has a smile nicer than the Mona Lisa Exhibit. 
Walter had a patience with me that I simply can't understand 
And Sam was always willing to lend us a helping hand

So thank you for your patience and thank you for your grace 
Thank you for your jokes and smiles brought to my face
Thank you for your understanding and ears to listen 
Who knew that this board would make my heart glisten 

We had our good times, we had our bad. 
through all of it, I'm still really glad 
That I had the honor of serving as your ITE president 
I truly believe that it was time well spent.

I couldn't have made it through this year with you all 
and now I'm passing it on to someone who is  quite tall 
I'll stop now because my rhymes are running thin
but thank you once again. Sincerely, Sheena Kim

bye bye for now ^
