The New Resposibility

          My whole week was full of surprises.Some of them were nice and others weren't. But there is one thing  that I would like to share that really shocked the heck out of me.
           Well, I was elected as the new Associate Editor of The Beacon  Publication.Oh no, I was never elected anyway. I was appointed to take that position together with Sandy as the EIC and Jonalyn, the managing Editor.Both of them were my classmates and good buddies. No question for Sandy and Jona having those position because they've undergone through seminars and training and joined countless competition in journalism  with flying colors. But I? well,I once became a part of  it when I was in my first year in college and even joined the 1st  annual Press Conference in San Jose for the first time ever in my whole life. Unfortunately, I lost. Maybe because I was too nervous and pressured by my coach and so my pen  went wild turning my head upside down. Sad to say, that very  first time eventually became the last I entered the world of journalism.
          Back to the story. Our Publication Adviser, Sir Mark, called for our names in front of my fellow students to be introduced. He explained why he did chose US to be the leaders of that organization bragging all the achievements that  my friends got from the past years. To be honest, I felt ashamed of myself and all I did was to smile, giving them one of those "I don't care" looks.
        That night, I could hardly sleep. The thought that I'd be once again a part of the publication as the associate editor bothered me so much. I've been asking myself " hey, do I deserve it?,Will I be able to handle that responsibility?.. But something popped into my head and calmed my trembling mind. It's the thought that maybe I was just under-estimating myself. Those people believe in my capability that I can do it so why not give myself a try?The only thing I need to do here is to believe in me and to work hard.(Of course).. I know that I can and I will do everything to make it happen..
