hello.

like many of you, i did not know alison well in the beginning. i'm sure quite a few of you have only begun to hear her name because of the coming elections.. her smiling face plastered on every wall. it's true though, that she smiles all the time. =)

i'm in LD and i started off dying to be in the drama wing, because most of my friends would be joining that wing. so, i purposely attempted to do everything wrongly during selection sessions. however, i was asked to join the debate wing, and i unconsciously felt guilty. maybe i should give it a shot? i felt awkward as well because i didn't know if it was the right choice.

but the first person who messaged me was alison. i was surprised that she did so because at that time, she was a stranger to me. she said i should take my time to make the decision, not to feel stressed, and most importantly, don't regret what you have chosen. "Just follow your heart."

indeed, this is the very thing i want to say. i've had personal experiences with her when she has comforted me, or seeked comfort from her juniors/friends. she treats everyone equally, as friends. when she reaches out to listen to you, it gives you the impression that what you say matters to her. i believe that she is someone who is able to listen out for students' needs, and can make something revolutionary happen.

change. besides being able to juggle her responsibilities wonderfully (without dropping them!), alison would go all out for anything that she is passionate about. do you remember the arena on tv? well, it seemed like our school didn't do so well. but i had the priviledge to see the amount of effort and time and hope put into it. it was an admiring and must-be-applauded endeavor; the team did not even quake under the confident stances of XXX institution. (inside joke for st. nicks.) with determination, all challenges can be overcome, and nothing is too difficult if we do this together.

so i encourage you, to walk the path with alison. i'm someone insignificant. but i feel honoured, as her junior, or her campaign team member, or as a friend. that she would extend her warm hand (or trunk!) of invitation to me, to journey with her.

like the dilemma i faced (which i've told you earlier about), my only quote would be: just follow your heart. even as part of the campaign team, i will not force you or annoy you so much so that you'll say: "fine! i'll vote for her!". i simply wish to present a testimony, and with silent conviction i know that alison can do it. with all her amazing qualities against the other campaigners running for the election, i know that she can be the one leading us towards the future. and i'll be supporting her all the way, with all my heart.

follow yours.
