Decision

It happened when I had to decide for the sake of my dance company in school. I was elected as the President of our dance organization. When our adviser left because of the attitude and misconduct of my members, I talked to them regarding the decision whether or not to keep on practicing or not. I told my members that we have to be focused on our goal, to win the competition that we are joining. I lectured them in a way that they will realize the wrong deed / offensive thing that the have done to our adviser. Our adviser, before he walked out said, "I give up, let's stop this." with a mad tone. And so, since I looked forward to the plans I have for the troupe, I trained them and practiced them until I get the result that I want. Days passed, and my troupe got better and better, yet, our adviser has not visited. I got worried and went up to my adviser. He told me that he doesn't want to see us anymore, but I apologized in behalf of the troupe. Our adviser didn't come to our practice for 3 days. But when we practiced a day before the competition, he appeared. I was the only one who noticed him at first, but then, after the routine, the troupe gathered to him and hugged our adviser. Our adviser was pleased on what we did and he said to me, "Good job." At the back of my mind, I only did my job. It was my role to make decisions for the betterment of the dance troupe. The next day, the day of the competition, at the SM Megamall, we danced our heart out, and bagged 1st runner up. It was very fulfilling because we did our best despite of the challenge. And I think I did a great job for the future of the troupe. The win led our dance troupe to be a resident dance troupe in CCP and just this summer, representatives from the dance troupe went to Osaka, Japan for a cultural exchange program. I think I did a great job but I owe it to my members and to the adviser who taught me the discipline and quick-decision making.
