Workers of F.I.B #12: New 1iC Member
(Thank you Jaquan for the graphics!)
Last week, we introduced TheNamesBeck as our newest 1iC at FIB! Here’s what he has to say about his experience with us and his journey to the top.
Hello! Congratulations on the promotion! What were your first feelings when you found out?
TheNamesBeck: At first people started saying congratulations to me, so as a natural reaction, I thought, "What the hell are they congratulating me for?" Then they told me to check the ranks list, there my name was, in the 1iC division. I felt an immense pride and joy knowing I finally completed my goal for FIB which was to pass my old 3iC rank back in Fresh, although I already passed it when I reached 2iC, I did not expect to go any further. But I did, thanks to the friends I made during my adventure in FIB. Special thanks to my close friends Princeton and Chocolates, my twin Renjo, and my love Asqry/Cici. Those people helped me specially when I'm in the darkest of times, they helped me push through and persevere. And here I am, a 1iC. I'm proud to serve the FIB.
Because 1iC is one of the higher and desirable divisions, please summarize your journey in FIB for those who plan to work up to this rank.
TheNamesBeck: Well the start of my journey was pretty weird. When I first ever created a boon character I immediately saw "FIB" in the navigators. In an instant I click the room and entered. Then I noticed I can change my bubble colour. So I did, and people immediately to told me to turn it off. I was like "Woah ok then." The rest speaks for itself. I worked hard, filled stations actively, whilst also making friends, like Contessa, Ed, who unfortunately quit, and many more that I can't quite think off the top of my head right now. To be honest 1iC is just a number, the moment you reach Trial iC, you already feel that sense of pride that you are a proven hard worker of FIB.
So far, what has been your favorite part of your journey here?
TheNamesBeck: I've already been saying it so far, of course it would be making friends, and meeting the love of my life. With friends you can reach any goal in FIB, be it reach Trial iC and become Kanika's PA like Nwoob, or anything, literally. Friends are the remedy of all your problems.
Any words of advice or encouragement for LRs and HRs hoping for a promotion?
TheNamesBeck: Continue striving hard, and don't let what anybody says about you strike you down. Rise up and march on. In any situation of doubt, talk to me or any close friend. You define yourself, not others. Life is just a sculpture block and the problems you face are the hammer and chisel, with every problem you overcome the chisel and hammer hit the block, slowly defining you into a beautiful sculpture.
Congratulations Beck on becoming our newest 1iC!
