ATHENA!
There is so much I would like to say that I don’t know where to start.
I guess a pretty good sum up of what we’d like to express right now is that, WE LOVE YOU ATHENIANS!
You were just simply awesome today, and we are so proud of you guys.
We danced our hearts out. We shouted our loudest. We showed the others what it truly meant to be Athenian.
Even though we did not win the POP, I just really want to say that we are already the champions, and i’m not even trying to be clichéd and cheesy; I mean it from the bottom of my heart. We are the champions. We gave it our all, we shook the dance floor.
As we, your dance I/Cs, were on the stage doing this same dance for possibly the 100th+++ time, this one final dance just felt different. It was just a feeling of pure joy and overflowing pride. Seeing you guys enjoying yourselves, smiles on your faces, shouting with so much conviction, we knew at that moment that nothing else does matter. The moment was glorious; we were as one with the same dance moves, same green identity. All that mattered was that that we were all united with the same heartbeat.
The issue was never about winning, but about bonding as a faculty, doing something that identifies us together, performing our best together. Regardless of the results, knowing that we have done our best is already more than enough.
There are no regrets, no sadness and no sorrow.
We your faculty committee and i’m sure all of your C2 seniors are so proud of you all for continuing the legacy, displaying the imba strong Athenian spirit!
We have had so many of your seniors come up to us after POP to tell us how good we were this year and how proud they are of you. Even seniors from other faculties thought that we were great. Juniors you are awesome!
We can’t thank you enough for all the effort and time put into learning the faculty dance. You guys have really surprised us with your great enthusiasm and love for your faculty. Even those of you who’ve never danced before/think that dancing is not exactly your forte came down for dance sessions and put in your best effort to learn the dance. You deserve a standing ovation! Thank you guys for all the encouragement, be it on the tagboard or by physical action coming for dance sessions, we are really happy and touched. We really couldn’t ask for anything more. We really couldn’t ask for a better batch of juniors than you all.
We will miss dance sessions with you guys; the laughter, the sweat and the determinance youve showed us, like refusing to stop dancing and go home even after you’re dismissed.
Lastly, thank you for letting us have the honour of being your Dance I/Cs, to share with you the pride of being an Athenian and the joy of dancing. It’s been a wonderful and special journey shared with you Athenians batch ’10. Thank you for the time we’ve had together, you will always have a special place in our hearts.
We love you juniors! <3
With overflowing love and gratitude,
Your Dance I/Cs
