Maven Powers Through : The first obstacle conquered

Last Wednesday, my fellow co-Maven have decided to have our first meeting to welcome our two new members and discuss them about what Ideas that Matter is all about, since they told us that they were not very aware of what will happen and who will be our client. As we go on to our agenda and plan for the upcoming mini-competition, which is the like-fest of conceptual photos, we have found it will be difficult for us to meet as a whole Maven Team because our break schedules were not matched with each other. 

We were all excited with our plans and working together with our two new members especially on our upcoming conceptual, wacky, and formal photo shoot since it will be our first task to work together as a whole. But at the end of the day, they told us that they have to back-out. Their professor was concerned about them that they will have a hard time if they would continue to join the competition since Ideas that Matters might took their time that they might focus more on the competition than their academics. We tried to look for a certain day in a week where we can meet as whole team, but due to the different schedules, we found no day for us to meet as a whole.

 

I have nothing against these two but I believe that if there’s a wheel, there’s a way. For me if they really want to join this competition they would do everything that they can for them to be a part of Ideas that Matter like most of us did. As a matter of fact Ideas that Matter is actually a great opportunity for them, Advertising Juniors to experience how it feels like to work like a real agency. This competition can be a stepping stone for all of us both competing team and organizing team to be noticed and possible to be absorbed by advertising agencies as they see our potential for industry. Sadly they have let go of this experience and it was too short for us to get to know them, yet we fully understand that they need to focus more on their studies since it is our main priority of us students.

The show must go on! On the following day, we already who will be our other two new members and we will meet them this coming Tuesday and we are really excited to meet them. I hope that Maven team will work as one in creating ideas to collide as a one big idea that ignites.
