Dia #216: School President Traits
Dia
Let me see… Chicken sounds good for the meat. We will also need sausages… And maybe some cheese to throw in at the very end…
Eli
Dia, I borrowed a pretty big pot for us to use. Hm? What are you jotting down?
Dia
I am making a list of things we will need. Writing out a list is the best way to determine what we really need, do you not agree?
Eli
Writing down a list to organize the thoughts in your head, huh?
Dia
Yes. Ruby and the others often question me in surprise about why I would go to such lengths to check and double-check.
Eli
*Chuckle* I do the same thing, Dia. You could say it's a habit from my student council duties. I write down every single thing on my mind.
Eli
I get all worried if I don't. Are you the same way?
Dia
Absolutely. Both you and I are school council presidents, after all. *Chuckle* I can see why you understand me, then.
Eli
People are all talking to us at once and we have a lot of work to get through, right? I'd get so confused if I didn't write up a list to organize everything.
Dia
I completely understand! Why is it that everything seems to rain down on us all at once? Perhaps we are actually the ones generating the work for ourselves?
Eli
That might be part of it. I can't help but do some things because it just bugs me until it's done.
Dia
Oh yes, I share the same sentiment! I make sure I get my student council duties thoroughly done so that I am completely satisfied!
Dia
That is why I am often scolded by Kanan and Mari. They tell me to rely on others a little more.
Dia
However, no matter how stressful something may be, it does not bother me at all when I think about the girls at my school. It actually makes me happy. The work is fun.
Dia
I mysteriously feel a power building up inside of me when I know that what I am doing is for the sake of my peers.
Eli
Yes, I get what you're saying. It's the same for me. The idea of doing something for others is really empowering to me.
Dia
Exactly! We are one and the same. *Chuckle* This makes me feel somewhat happy.
Eli
Maybe this is something all student council presidents understand, do you think?
Dia
A common trait of student council presidents! *Chuckle* Perhaps you are right. I would love to have another chat like this with you again sometime.
Eli
That sounds like fun. I'm sure we'll have more things to share that only us student council presidents understand.
