Tesl Student Society.
Before I enrolled myself into Degree, I created myself some personal goals that I wanted to achieve in order for a better me. Not too much but heh.. it makes sense for me to achieve la kot? One of them is going out from my own comfort zone. Little do you know that I have been struggling with my low self esteem for quite sometimes? (I wrote this on my previous post lol) aaaand..... It's freking hard. In order for me to be an amazing future English Teacher (aamiin), I know that I need to be really confident about myself so that my students later on will believe in me and what I am trying to convey. SO first, I need to believe in myself. Dats it.
Oh! What did I do? I joined Tesl Student Society (Tess) so that I can be more confident with myself. Phew, it sounds big isn't? But guuuuys listen, it was all worth it! I didn't regret once. I enjoyed it so much. At the first place, it was a very tough decision to make. I was very scared, confused yet excited at the same time when the first time my seniors introduced me to the Tesl Student Society. I was scared if I cannot give my full commitment to the society and I was confused whether I should join and be part of the society or not. You know that it's a real deal because one decision could change your whole life. Like I've mentioned above, I joined the society, it is. I. joined.it. I finally joined it. Wuhuuu.
How did I get enrolled into the society, you might want to know. I approached one of my seniors and she asked me to fill in a form and bla bla bla. I thought after I fill the deets on the form, everything was settled and I got into the society just like that, tadaaa! So senang la kan? But, actually, I don't know that all Tesl students need to vote for me as in sequent for me to be part of the society. In other words, it means; competition! (yknow I don't favour competition). At that moment, I was thinking of withdrawing myself because hello girl, I was just in my first year first semester of Degree, how possible for people to know me and vote for me? People don't even know me. I was just smol and tiny (and cute too, pipol cannot resist! hahahahaha). Long story short, after all the voting session, I was chosen to be one of the Tesl Student Society tenure 17/18 along with the hustle and bustle I need to undergo (lah sangat, over je). I was extremely shocked. I mean, who even voted for me? Like WHOA I know I am kiyot hahahaha. #narcissist Those who voted for me were definitely gems. God bless!
Joining this society totally changed my first year of Degree. I thought it will be hard for me to mingle around with people in the society as I don't like socialising that much kan but it was totally contradict than I thought weh. I was shooketh that I can finally get along with people around me. My beloved seniors, my fellow classmates and my cuties juniors in Tesl community. I never regretted pursuing my Degree in Tesl and even joining Tesl Society ya Allah aku bersyukur betul ni woih taktau nak habaq lagu mana. The fact that I already KNOW how to socialise and mingle around with people made me feel so proud of myself. Dia rasa macam woih akhirnya aku berjayaaaaaa uwu! gituw. As an introvert, it's never easy. But when you did it, it feels surreal and great at the same time. I've learned that this is one way of how I want to develop a self-love in me. Doing things that I think I cannot but at the end of the day, when I did it, I should compliment and be proud of myself. This is how to instil the self-love well at least to mi-self.
Apart from that, of course, I learned a lot. Banyak gila. And in fact, I am still learning and learning even when I am now the secretary of Tess. (Fyi, I started from scratch. I was one of the bureau. Now I am one of the mainboard, alhamdulillah!) I learned some moral values when I am in this society such as (1) the importance of communication with people around to avoid miscommunication and misleading information. I learned (2) how crucial it is to accept and celebrate others' perspectives and opinions as everyone has different point of views about something. I learned on (3) how to conduct a programme. I learned to (4) create impactful modules. I learned that (5) sometimes, you need to voice out and it is okay to voice out your own stand. I learned about (6) patience and (7) friendship with a lil bit of understanding. I basically learned about life. How to live in a community in a harmony way without stupid fights and quarrels. Everything that I learned and experienced was all worth it. It was not that easy as I still need to face mini ups and downs yet putting myself in this risky and challenging journey makes my Degree life colourful and joyful. It is like walking in a bumpy road that could make you cry sometimes tapi kau jalan dengan aci redah jelah because you know, at the end of the road, you'll taste the sweetness, the joyfulness, the laughter and fun and you'll be forever grateful that you take the road #suchaphilosopher.
How I wish I could list all amazing things that I've done with Tesl Society 17/18 but somehow no words could really describe the feelings. In short, all I can say that it was incredible and magnific!
I would like to thank a lot (like a lot tau!) to my amazing seniors for accepting me as the youngest person in the society which automatically made me your budak kecik. Hahaha. Thank you for guiding me on how to become a good person in the society and guide me every time a programme was held. For being patient with me and my childish attitudes. For treating me very well, just like a little sister of yours. For teasing me all the time specifically using my trademark #cubakitafikir. For all the weird and silly jokes that eventually made me laugh sebab #atenmudahterhibur. For ensuring that I am fine especially when I was having a bad period pain. For sharing the food with me. For hanging out with me kadang-kadang dekat Edu Square sambil makan kueh tiaw kungfu. For welcoming me every time I entered the operation room. For appreciating my existence and the list goes on.
I am so so so beyond grateful for all the gestures, big yet small things that my seniors have done to me. I have nothing much to repay except my sincere prayers for every single one of you.
Thank you for every ups and downs -- thicks and thins that we have been through together whilst doing all the programmes. Tesl Run UIA x UiTm x UM. Ed visit to UiTM and UM. Language camps and workshops at various schools. Tuition with primary students. Tesl Family Day. Tesl Theatre Day. Tesl Night. It was all fun and enjoyable despite the mini flaws and hiccups that we need to face. We undergo every problems that happened with laughter as we believe we have each others' back. Gotcha.
It was not a bad decision at all going out from my comfort zone and joined them (I keep saying the same thing all over again yeh) . I may say, this is the best society I've ever joined. I will cherish every memory and every bits and pieces of us, together. To my fourth year seniors, good luck for your practical very very soon. I couldn't believe that my seniors will experience the real life. Ohoi cepatnya masa berlalu. Jadi teachers yang baik okeh. Yknow, OR will be a tad bit lonely next semester without all of you. sobs.
And now , Tess 17/18 has been dissolved safe and sound. My seniors had recruited the new members of Tess 18/19 and that means ; new fam bam! Let's pray that this new tenure will be way better than before, Aamiin!

| Tess 17/18.
Later on, I know things won't be the same anymore. But may we remember that we used to be a family. One big family with various attitudes and personalities that complete each other. Stay safe, seniors. All of you has captured my heart and for that ; has soft spot in Fatin Nadhirah's heart.
Thank you for trusting in this girl named Fatin Nadhirah.
One day, we will be remembered.
Regards,
Aten x
