A gift in disguise

I am the leader of our group ARJAM, that's for a group project since last semester(June - October) in DBMS(Database Management Systems), I really don't want to be a leader as it bears a lot of responsibilities... but I don't have a choice, I was appointed to be their leader, so be it.
A week after our defense on our subject in SAD(System Analysis and Design) documentation this semester(November - March), our professor call our attention for a meeting of leaders...
She wants BSIT(Bachelor of Science in Information and Technology) students to have a challenge and for us, students, to be known that BSIT was existing in PUP Taguig.
There were eleven groups in our class, therefore there are eleven leaders.
Our professor want us to make a system for Q4B(Quest for the Best - an event in our school for quiz bee, art competition, sports etc.) , but our priority was to automate the quiz bee.
She divide the leaders into two groups, the first group will use JAVA language and perhaps MySQL database (they will use opensource softwares), while the other one will use VB and MS SQL database. I was belong to the group that will use VB, and surprisingly assigned as their leader. The members of the group actually appointed me, and our professor agreed...
I don't know, but this is something I never wanted...
to be the leader of the leaders...
I was afraid that I might not satisfy their expectations...
I don't even think that I'm a good leader in my group, ARJAM, so I was somehow got sad.
But a few talks with my friends and family makes me feel better...
and my father said that I can make it.
My friend, Ayra, also believed that I can do it.
Now, I'd realized that this is not just something I have to bear, but a gift to be treasure.
I look at its positive side.
I was assigned because they trust me. They believe in me.
I have friends/classmates that somehow sees better than what I can see on my self.
I shall thank them for trusting me.
This is a gift that might developed my skills and personality.

If you don't want something...
it will be given to you unexpectedly...
sometimes we have to be grateful of what we have and don't have...
but if a thing that you never wanted was given onto you...
be thankful, there must be a reason why.

Life is too short to be fill with complains...
just ride with the flow...
struggle if you think you're falling to a wrong one...
keep moving. Do something.
You'll see, it's worth trying.
