The emergency assembly sparked curiosity and excitement. The SRC Leader's announcement about the prefectship positions sent a wave of interest through the student body.
A classmate surprisingly bought the form for me, and I decided to seek advice from my uncle, Uncle Blackson. He cautioned me about the potential academic impact.
After reflection, I realized that the role might indeed affect my studies. I decided to step back and focus on my academic priorities.
I approached the SRC Leader and informed him of my decision to withdraw from the running. Now, I was worried about how others would react.
The next morning, the SRC Leader posted a list, and classmates assumed it was the list of students moving forward. Though my name wasn't on it, many still mentioned my name, showing their support.
As the news spread, some classmates joked and teased me, wondering why my name wasn't on the list. I chose to keep quiet and let them wonder.
Later, in the dormitory, I received a call from Senior Smith, my "School father." I decided to be honest with him about my decision to withdraw from the prefectship position.
I also shared the news with Sharafina, and we discussed our plans and priorities. It was a relief to have shared the news with someone I trusted.
The experience had taught me to prioritize my goals and make informed decisions. I was ready to focus on my studies and explore other ways to contribute to my school community.
