Popular Post Victory Element Posted April 2, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Indeed, this is no average monday. It happens to be my last day of spring break, so i'm just doing the homework that i put off a week ago. Just got back from my lacrosse practice, decided to check my phone and scroll through the twitter feed, nothing new... Then i decide to check the forums.... I got 2 PMs in the inbox. That is not usual for a guy like me. Suddenly, i find out that i'm the MoM! I cant put it into words the way i feel at this moment. It is such an honor to have earned this respectable title from the the community. I learned i was voted for this title unanimously, which makes me feels highly respected. I still dont know who does those votes, but i thank any of you who did. March 9th was actually my 1 year anniversary of joining the forums, and being a MoM is a postion that i have always coveted. I will admit that i have gotten frustrated at times, feeling as if my dedication here was meaningless. As if my effort that i put into my posts went unoticed by the larger portion of the community. I even wasnt familiar with the MoMs that were being selected. But i made earning this title my new goal, and decided to fight the emotions that battled for my attention. And here i am now.... I've always thought about having a postion as a mod or having a key role in the development of the forums, but i realize that it may just not be my destiny. Not everyone can have a high postion of influence here, but we must all play our roles in order for this complex community to function the right way. I've come to realize that my role is to be a leader among forum posts, not in post count but in substance. It is my duty to be the example for proper behavior to other casual members such as myself, and set the standards for what might be called a quality post. I try to put true meaning into what opinions i voice and the facts that i provide. I am not perfect though , i may have a few meaningless posts or behave immaturely, but it is all about striving to be better the next day. I may never earn an important role such as mod, but i know my job and will continue to work for greatness as long as i am here. I hope am able to use my temprorary title as a beacon to others for what is expected here on the forums, and please, dont be afraid to repremand me if i suddenly become arrogant. I highly value humility in myself and others, so i make that an everyday goal for myself, both here and out in the in the real world. Once again, i am extremely honored to have this postion. I like to keep things short and sweet, so i will conclude this thread with a little bit about myself. The first halo game that i ever owned for myself was halo reach. I am only about 2 years into the halo community, but i feel that i already have immense knowledge about the game and its fiction. I will not judge myself as a player in case you were interested, that is for you guys to decide. Also, I am only a freshman in high school ( i have never revealed this to anyone here yet). those who know me a bit may be shocked to here that, but please understand that i am not your average 15 year old. I would consider myself to be both mentally and physically gifted, please excuse me for crossing my usual humility boundary here. I am one of those kids who can study for 10 minutes and manage to score an A on a test. My mind is always doing something complex, and i feel that i have a gift for "reading" other people. I dont mean like a psychic, i can just easily go through another person's though process in various situations, and determine emotions through often unoticed muscle reactions. I am also a student athlete at my high school. Football is my main sport, but i am currently trying my first season of lacrosse. Between my athletic schedule and homework, i dont have much free time. In that time, i either play halo, come here, or listen to music. That concludes my MoM thread. My spring break officially ends today, so i may not be able to post as frequently as i did in the past week. I do have my obligations as MoM though, so i will visit as much as possible this month. Remember to show respect in all situations you may find yourself in here, and stay humble. I love this community, but i hate when conflict comes up between members. It kills me inside. We are all here for the same reason, and i dont understand why some refuse to display moral values towards others that they come across. I ask any of you who read this to stand up for what is right. Do not let your emotions control you, so please, continue the mission that we all have as memebers here. If you need some motivation, just remember what i have said to you, and even dedicate your work to me.... ...your new MoM MoM wish is TBD 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SternuS Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ah, the two qualities i appreciate the most in a person are humility and honesty. You truly act and think older than you are, and is surprising how, being "young" into Halo, you can discuss with "older" people always making valid points. Well deserved, friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
