Commitment

I just feel like I need to share this. It's just about commitment to anything. In my case, it's ICF.

I have been helping out ICF in being the secretary for almost a year. Last year when the AGM (known as Annual Group Meeting, I think) was held to select new exec members, I thought I stay on and continue since I will be quite free.

But things happen. I was told to actually let go of the postion or to help less so I can concentrate more on my studies. I hesitated to let go because I thought adding this position of one year into CV could mean something. But friends and cousin commented that different people got different commitment.

'You're not helping/doing anything to ICF, that doesn't mean you are not serving the Lord.' 'You can just help a little bit but just not too much.' 'You should let the new members take over, otherwise new people cannot take on the job.'

I had a thought about it. There are 2 other 'older' members in the exec group. So they will have help. And I don't have to pull out entirely. I can still help whenever I want to, right?

Now here comes the part where I aso hesitate. I commented that I don't want to NOT help because I am scared that people will talk about it.

'Oh she pull out just like that when she promised that she will be in the committee for the following year.'

Yea, that was what I am afraid of. But I was told that it happens in clubs where people took on a position, two weeks or more later, they quit the position.

That makes me feel a bit better though. So, I think I shall take on less work done, yea? I am convincing myself huh.. I have ICF meeting later so I shall tell them.
