Just got an e-mail from the Chief Returning Officer, Patrick Barbosa, that I was elected to be the Faculty Representative of International Education. Yeah!!! Cheers!!! ^_^
This is a really exciting news. It means I have marketed myself successfully and was approved by the people who voted me. I was selling a service which different from other competitors. I won, but after I took the second class of Marketing, I'm confused. If I was selling a service, I have dug the basic needs and expected needs. But what are the students' emotional need that I have met or maybe I haven't. What are the similarities and differences between marketing a product in the market and marketing a person during a election? Are they same thing?
Anyway, I can start to do something for international students. I could remember the hard time that I had when I first came here. Language problem, cultural shock, and home sick..... Lots of difficulties. I noticed that I have been paying a student union fee every semester, but I didn't know what's that for. And I have only been there for selling used books. I really want to help those international students who have difficulties and afraid to ask. Here I go.
