All of us have a story..
I am an AIESECer & this is
my story. Quite an ordinary
one....
30.3.2008
23:00, 30.03.2008
I am sitting in the office &
printing handouts for a
national conference. I am
annoyed and tired but it
needs to be done....
14:00, 10.4.2008
I have missed another family
reunion, because I really need
to get this partnership for my
country so that I can pay the
salaries of my MC members this
year. Maybe I’ll try to see my
family another day. I really
miss them very much....
Why
AIESEC?
What
for?
What
drives me?
Why now?
22:00, 15.5.2008
I am back home, exhausted.
My friends and family do not
understand what I am
doing…
I feel lonely…
Why
AIESEC?
What
for?
What
drives me?
Why now?
5:30, 21.5.2008
My alarm clock is ringing. I
need to go to the airport to
pick-up my new MC member
from Nigeria. I hope that I
will be there on time ...
10:00, 21.5.2008
The plane is late by 8
hours. I can’t wait anymore.
I need to go back to my
office. I am on the bus and
thinking...
Why am I doing all of this?
Unfortunately I don't have time to
think about it. In 2 hours, I need to
submit 2 reports to my LCPs, reply
89 emails, work with my VPER on
the proposal for the government
for a grant we are applying for and
prepare for the meeting with my
BoA tomorrow.
I need to make sure everything is
ready. My team is depending on
me.
Hold on…
Who is going to pick-up my
Kazeem from the airport?
Why
AIESEC?
What
for?
What
drives me?
Why now?
3 years
later
It is a sunny Sunday
25.9.2011
I have just finished my
internship & have been
recognized as
an AIESEC alumni.
I’m in the mountains. This is
where I always come to take
a breath of fresh air and
more importantly, relax.
Where is my water bottle?
I can’t find it… it must be
deeper inside my
backpack…
Hold on…
What’s that?
Wow, it’s familiar…
… I haven’t seen that picture for a long
time…
... I looked much younger back then…
Love. Motivation. Direction…
…It’s the picture of my MC team
…that was…what? 3 years ago…
With this living memory in
my hands, with the sun
shining high above in the
sky…
I am reflecting on my
AIESEC journey...
are flying through my
Feelings
Mind
Though
ts
Heart
I am realizing that I have
friends all over the world…
I am realizing
I have met diverse faces
in diverse places.
… this is called
being a “Global Citizen”.
I am happy to say that I
have more and more friends
who are sharing common
values as myself...
I am realizing that I have
practical experience in
leading teams, speaking in
public and driving
results…
I have run an
organization!
I have several career
opportunities.
The only confusion now is to
choose one of them...
I can communicate fluently
in three languages.
I am recognized as a young
role-model in various
areas...
I have had an experience of a
lifetime. This experience has
helped me through my
university and work.
And most importantly...
…I keep growing ever since
I started my AIESEC
journey...
I discovered my talents...
I discovered what I want to
achieve...
I strongly believe I will
achieve what I want.
and make an impact.
Like a soft wind, a smile
slowly grew on my face…
I am remembering the joy I
have had...
...the parties I have been in...
...the friendships I have
made...
...the deep and inspiring
conversations I have had...
The “hello’s” and “see you’s” I
have said…
…and the tears I have shed.
Of course there have been
challenging moments. I
remember days when I was
totally exhausted, staying
long at the office, eating
curry samosas with my team
because we couldn’t afford
anything else, missing my
family & friends, but...
...but who cares?
Life is good.
And this is only one story out of
many-many AIESECers in the
world
This is my story, one out of
more than 850 thousand
proud AIESEC alumni.
Will you someday share your
story like this?
What do you want to be
remembered for?
What difference will you make
to your people, your LC or
your yourself?
This is your time to shape
your life and write your story.
What will be your AIESEC
story?
