118/365
I hate it when people ditch what was supposedly their "favorite club" because they did well once in another club.
First it was _ _ _ _- _ _ _ _ _, and now it's apparently _ _ _ _. And you said you wanted to run for officer positions in both? There's certain things you need to learn... If you aren't willing to devote the time to the clubs and competitions, if they aren't your absolute first priority, if they don't have your absolute passion, then don't even bother.
There's an art in being involved in multiple clubs and trying your hardest in all of them. I know. I have quite a few academic clubs (five, to be exact), that all seem to have competitions on the same days. I need to skip a few, because there's absolutely no way that I would be able to attend them all, but when I can, I do. I don't make up excuses as to why I don't think I can attend something, because I planned to go out with friends, or because my parents were going somewhere. Even if you show up, saying that you might not be there just shows the lack of effort in attempting to show up.
Oh, and one more thing? Don't fool yourself. A few positive comments and some awards doesn't mean that you're absolutely splendid at whatever it is you're involved in. You keep saying it was because other people helped you along, but with your attitude, one would think you got there yourself, and want the world to know it. Focus on your weak points, and don't exaggerate your strong ones. I'm not saying you don't deserve recognition for your achievements, simply that there's always something to improve on, and the "Why can't you just realize I did this well?" attitude isn't going to get you anywhere.
