The problem is that it just doesn’t work like that. Experience helps, yes, but there are some things that you need to be taught. 1 ½ terms is nothing compared to the political careers of some of our residents, I think it unfair to expect me to be on the same level as them. I doubt that’s what you were saying though, so let me explain it differently.
When I first became the MoOSE, it was my belief that that came from me expressing interest in eventually becoming the Minister of Culture. A year ago, I was a staff member of MoC and Ministers were still elected. It was my belief that gaining experience as staff was the path forward to eventually becoming a Minister. Since there was no staff anymore, over the summer I had asked about the programs we have (I forget the name), that are designed to teach residents how to do stuff, such as Assembly writing. Maybe I should have declined on the grounds of having no experience.
Looking back at my work, I no regrets. If back then I knew how it would end, would I do it again? No, I don’t think I could watch all my work pointlessly crumble to the ground. We had something good going here. What I’ve realized, however, is that I’m not the Minister to be bound to someone elses agenda. If I’m going to serve as MoC, the only way I can do that is my own way, not under the expectations of someone else. Maybe that sounds arrogant, and it probably is, but I believed I was chosen because of my ideas, not to carry out someone else’s. If this means I’ll never serve in the government again, fine. If it means that someday I get the chance to serve again, fine. Let fate be fate, I can live with it.
