I usually do not do anything against my will. But sometimes, I need to do it to

you for asking me the question.

I am an executive at a multinational corporation working in Singapore. When I 
was at my university, I used to experience such matters. It happened as I could 
not say ‘No’ directly to anyone. So, most of the time, the students and teachers 
asked me to help them. Such an event took place during the annual university 
festival. I was asked to host the last day of the event because the student who 
was selected to host became sick. So, they picked me as the host and it was so 
sudden that I could not manage enough time to prepare for the event. 
The cultural association of the university organises the show every year. As 
part of its annual activity, it organised the cultural show of 2017 in the last part 
of January this year. Everything was in order. They appeared me, in the 
beginning, to host the event due to my witty statement and smart reactions. In 
fact, I also can handle the worst situations that none can do. In last year, I 
managed to resolve such a worst event which may lead to violence. So, a 
professor and the president of the association approached me to be the host. I 
humbly denied the request as my semester final was approaching near. But 
when the other student became sick, finding no other ways, the professor 
came to me along with some other teachers. A couple of my course teachers 
were also there to urge me in hosting this final event. I was unable to make 
them understand about my weakness in the course. So, I had to agree with 
them.
The event usually takes place in the beginning of January each year. But this 
was held in the last part of the month for some unwanted reasons. The 
authority finally organised the event and everything was in order. I also did not 
take part in any of the events considering my semester final. After this exam, I 
will be a graduate and my initial academic career will be over. I have decided 
to complete my post-graduation after a couple of years and at my own 
expense. Besides, I needed a better score. So, I was trying hard to focus on my 
studies. Actually, I am weak in some of the subjects and wanted to concentrate 
more on them. Hence, I resisted myself from every extracurricular activity.
I was forced to host the event for some reasons. Firstly, I was one of the most 
active boys in the university. I used to move in almost all the cultural functions. 
In fact, without my direct help, it was impossible to hold the events. Planning 
and implementation relied on me. Hosting the events was another important 
task that I needed to do. But this time, it was really tough for me to participate 
at any of the events. I was worried about my academic activities. I have missed 
many of the classes to organise many other events in the past. And so, I

wanted a break. But I was forced to be the host and I had to do so. They came 
to me as they had no other options left. Only for the sake of my university 
reputation, I agreed and hosted the event finally. However, it was a fantastic 
event.
