AIESEC Manitoba 2006-2007 Vision
Blog Entry for: March 1, 2006
Wow, officially the Local Committee President of AIESEC. I cannot imagine the journey I had to go through to get to where I am at today! 2 years as a VP. I still remember my very first day with the organization–acting so immaturely in front of my peers, always trying to steal the spotlight; clearly I was really lost. I look at myself now and I can’t help but notice the big change. 9 years ago, when I migrated to Canada, if someone had told me that this is where I’m going to be and this is what I’m going to be doing, I would have probably cried. In 9 years of being in Canada, I have experienced and achieved so much (in my own terms). I’ve been so fortunate to be blessed with an amazing family, a support sets of friends, and unbelievable opportunities. I certainly won’t be here without all those people. Thank you everyone!
As my year as the president starts, I can’t help it but be excited. I try to imagine what my year will be like–full of challenges, adventures, difficulties, and most importantly…growth! I cannot wait to execute the business plan and drive the local to the new heights. This year will be monumental for AIESEC Manitoba!
To my execs:
Thank you for having the confidence and faith in me to lead the local. Without you guys, these past few months would have been hell for me! Thank you for sticking by me.
To my outgoing execs:
Thanks for the memories, the goodtimes, the laughs and most importantly the friendship. You guys have impacted my life in many ways–more than other people I have known for the longest time. You have challenged me in many different ways. You have encouraged growth and innovation when I thought I have already reached my maximum. I will forever take what I have learned in our year as Executives and move forward in my life as the President. I tip my hat to all of you! Cheers.
New Position, New Team, New Vision, New Year…I can’t wait.
