MIS Society (http://www.csusm.edu/missociety) just had its first event of the Spring 2009 semester. Still excited and waiting for the videos and photos to share, just wanted to thank all the officers for their hard work to make it happen.
In the event, the guest speaker, Mr. Steve Romeo, and the other guests from MIS advisory board constantly mentioned the word passion. Yes, what is passion?
Looking back my student life, I used to have some passion and actively participate in student organizations just because I loved it. But gradually, reality hits me when I need to pass the TOEFL and GRE exams. I have to find a good supervisor and start a good research topic. Then find a job to resolve my visa and green card issue…. Start teaching and try to do the best I can so as to be able to sustain my job. But where is my passion? Thinking back, I have to admit that I love teaching, I love interacting with my students, I love it when my students learn things. I’ve been always enjoying the Tradeshow of senior experience. I enjoy attending the senior experience presentation, observing the improvement of the students from when they just entered the college taking BUS 304 and struggling for those basic statistics concepts. Literally, the changes are huge, and I was part of forces making the change happen. How great!
After getting home from the event, I am still too excited to fall asleep. I looked my album one more and found some photos I took from college, when I was a student officer in charge of the departmental athletic union. We just won the cup of “John Ma”. God, that was also a great memory to remember. I wish the officers will feel the same level of pride after the event on Thursday!
