Eye-Opener

During PSYCH Club meeting today, we had the honor of Prof. Ulas, the newly appointed assistant professor  of Psychology, to join us. When we were discussing our future plans, he gave us some suggestions that were quite bombastic that we ended up not knowing what to say.

We never thought of ourselves as a club capable of doing things as big as he suggested. The biggest event we have ever held was the anti-nuclear exhibition, and it was only big because we cooperated big time with Soka Gakkai Malaysia. What Prof. Ulas suggested was way bigger than this exhibition. We are honored that he views us as a club full of youth capable of doing something of a national scale in a few years, but at the same time, we are also both nervous and thrilled to see what we can actually achieve.

“People say aim for the stars and you get the moon, and it’s true,” he said, and I thought, why didn’t we aim that high? I guess because we only think of PSYCH Club as another extracurricular activity and not more than that. I mean, if only we are totally devoted to Psychology and the club, we may have been able to do things that are greater than a few fundraising events (although, having great tom yum fish balls in every one of them is really great). We did manage to organize a visit to a well-known mental hospital, though, but we shouldn’t be satisfied with only that.

Okay, let’s do this! I’m excited to see which ones of his suggestions that we can actually do with the current committee. Time to aim for the stars, Psychos!

PS: The term “Psychos” refers to the members of our PSYCH Club, no bad meaning intended.
