“Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald
Everything these days feels like starting over. Moving in, joining new organizations, meeting new people. Everything is a fresh start. All these new beginnings could be overwhelming and intimidating but I feel like I’m ready.
I was thrilled when I learned that I was selected to be an At-Large member of the Business Council. I can’t wait to participate in the Company Field Trip, attend VIP, and volunteer with other UBC members throughout the year. The passion that drives UBC members also brings them closer together. With programs like Toast To The Turkey at Thanksgiving and Lunch Buddies, I feel like BC members are more than just members of an organization.
The bond that I share with Business Council members was formed immediately. Meeting other BC members at Informal Retreat was so easy because everyone was so friendly and energetic. Any older BC members that I met immediately offered advice about classes and organizations. They were genuinely wanted to make sure that I was aware of all the opportunities that UT and BC offers. The week before Informal Retreat I found out that I was selected to be a Texas Spirit. So many members of BC offered their congratulations upon meeting me that I felt at home with people who I had met only moments ago.
When I arrived on campus I was excited to get involved with UBC. As I sat in the informational meeting during the first week of school, I was struck by the passion that each one of the UBC members held for their positions on council and for the school of business. I wanted to find that same confidence, passion sense of purpose that each of the members of UBC hold. I decided to apply for an At-Large position and was impressed by the first question on the application. It simply read “Was it worth it?” I looked back on my short time at UT and forward into the future and decided that I wanted to make my time at UT worth it. I know I should work as hard as I can but at the same time not hold any regrets. By doing this, I can fully appreciate the present while not dwelling in the past, have faith in my judgment, realize my potential and know that yes, it’s going to be worth it.
