Thank You

Team,

Things did not start well for all of us. We even thought to part ways before we even had the chance to get together.

I was not sure if I was ready to face a bunch of people who wanted someone else as their team lead. I was not sure if you were ready to face a team lead who wanted a different team for herself.

That was also the most complicated part of my life, when I was bombarded by changes, by problems, my own fears, my own personal challenges and I thought handling you guys would not make things easier either. And I was not ready for rejection.

Slowly as my life attains stability, as my own personal problems resolved, as things go on a steady state for me I learned to open up with you and trust you all.

And that was the start for all of us. That was the start of me having my team, Team Crissy. That was when I was able to say to myself "this is my team" and I was so proud of that.
I wanted us to be the best. And I know we are. I wanted to see you all grow. And I know you all did. We all did. We could have soared higher than what we have done, but I guess we've proven ourselves already.

You changed me, everything that I am as a team leader was all because of you. I was short tempered (I still am) but you thought me how to carve it, that I become conscious of what I say to all of you. I am impulsive, but you thought me to always think twice. Because what I do not only affects me but all of you. You thought me to know and respect you individually and see the best in each of you.
Above all you changed me as a person, the Crissy outside the confines of the office. The me that you all helped come out of her complicated life. You, all of you, you bunch of crazy pips made my life happier when it seemed it's not going to be. And I am happy, even though single. : )

Thank you all for listening to me when I want you to and needed you to, when following me when you know it'll be for the good of the team, for sharing my visions for the team, for working with me when I wanted us to be at the top. Thank you for making me the kind of team leader that I am. For teaching me that a team leader is not just about paghihigpit, warnings, sermons, stats. For making me smile when I'm feeling I am at my lowest. Sa lahat-lahat.

For everyone, thank you for bearing with my temper, my moodswings, my demands, my bossiness, katarayan, may kaartehan, my talkativeness, my sometimes ineptitude, mga pagkukulang at kalabisan.

For the mean girls, thank you for fighting for me, for standing beside me and fighting my own battle. Thank you for hearing me out when I wanted to be heard. For becoming my girl friends. For the friendship, for accepting me.

Thank you all for the respect, the friendship, for everything. Sayang when everything is going smoothly and becoming more fun things had to change. But it need not change drastically, we're still here in the same office, same stations (un iba nga lng hindi).

I would have wanted to see you guys promoted. See you achieve things through the team. But you can still do that. You are all good as individuals I know you're all going to be successful.

God does not let things happen without a reason. And accepting change is part of being mature. Let's prove to them we're all professionals and that we'll grow as individuals wherever team we are.

No goodbyes! Coz we're not parting! You are my first team and that will never change.
I never knew I'd love this team, and I did. Thank you all.

felicity and kudos!
