But... I'm scared of the responsibility it will entail.
and... I am scared of the time commitment and the effort it will require of me.
Maybe I'm especially exhausted right now, but I am not looking forward to the amount of work a new position will be. Next semester, I plan on taking 16 hours in addition to working in the Admission Office and for The Mirror as the Advertising Sales Manager. Somehow I've made it work this past semester on top of having a boyfriend AND life (sort of!). But, whatever position I take will add a bigger commitment than the position I currently hold.
So, why am I running? It's always a struggle to define this for myself. Am I running because other people have suggested it? Am I running because I think it's best for the chapter? Am I running because no one else will do it? Am I running for selfish reasons? I don't know! Maybe it's a little bit of everything. However, I do know that despite all the time and effort it will require, I want to run because ultimately, it is my personal decision. I know being a leader is about taking what others want into consideration too...
Two years ago, one of my friends was struggling with whether or not to run. Although everyone asked her to, she decided not to run. She didn't base her decisions off of others opinions, but rather decided what was best for herself. Am I doing what's best for myself? She felt as if she could best serve the chapter as someone who wasn't in an executive office. However, I think I can be more effective IN an office. Although it's going to be a lot work, I can't wait for the GOOD stuff. I can't wait to help lead a group of outstanding Zetas and help them grow as leaders.
I don't know how I'm going to do it... but I think I'm ready.
