Well, everyone, it’s been a tremendous year. Three huge successful events, along without weekly Coffee Hours. ISA was a great opportunity for growth for both the officers and interns, and I think we have all become a little more mature and capable after our year at ISA.
Personally, it was a challenge that I took on reluctantly at the beginning, but later on embraced. Because of my future plans, any leadership experiences that can be had are welcome. I am glad to have had this opportunity to test out my leadership skills, and see that people actually looked up to me and followed. It was also a time for me to learn how to follow, which I still have difficulty with. In any case, I feel slightly more prepared to face Officer Candidate School and the hereafter in the Navy after being the PR Officer for ISA and the Food Committee Head for IWN 2009.
None of this would have been possible without our ISA interns. None of it. ISA interns are the raw energy that run ISA. The officers only channel it. Thank you, ISA interns. You were amazing.
This will be my last blog post on here, as the old guard is handing over the reigns to Samir and Benson, the new Co-Directors of ISA.
Here’s to hoping that ISA 2009-10 will be just as good or better than this last year.

Thank you for a very thoughtful note, Sean. It’s been great knowing you, as well as working with and learning from you.
You will surely be missed in the ISA. Best of luck in your future pursuits, and leadership opportunities!
