MYAIESEC.path

Many people ask me what am I doing in Norway, but the better question is how did I get here.
Victor Hugo said once that "The future has many names: For the weak, it means the unattainable. For the fearful, it means the unknown. For the courageous, it means opportunity".
AIESEC MOZAMBIQUE
First time I heard about AIESEC for me was more an OPPORTUNITY to go abroad. Then I heard that AIESEC is not for everybody, but wait, AIESEC is meant to develop the leadership and engage the students/ graduate, so how can it not be for everybody?
Reflection
This answer I just found out now. You can only get this, when first you open yourself to the opportunities that come across and throw yourself to the life challenges. Apply to join AIESEC is challenging yourself, because you are diving into the unknown.
Can you imagine yourself very young and having opportunities that many only have after years and years of life?
Yes, this is me right now, I am leaving the best experience in my life.
But life is an endless learning, here I learnt a lesson that I will carry with me for the rest of my life, "doesn't matter WHAT you are doing but WHY are you doing" by Rehema Abdul.
Days passed and I kept looking for my whys until this weekend, we had a conference to talk about AIESEC NORGE's achievements and had the opportunity to make some reflections on our experience so far.
Out of this reflection different thoughts came out, but in the end all of them had one conclusion for me,  the reason I joined AIESEC and I came here is because every moment of my life has a WHY and FOR, so few years from now when I look back, I will see that my life was not in vain because while I was pursuing my personal achievements somehow I helped someone to have their own achievements. And this my dear, is the engine that has guided over the years AIESEC, the IMPACT that this experience have on people and the world.

Life experience Pt.1

Do you know those times when every words in the world aren't enough to describe what you've been through?
Yes this was my last month.
I lived the most incredible experience that the whole internship could give me in only one month.
In this post I am going to show the moments that I lived and the people that contributed to make them real.
The Captain and Me Release concert

Team Support: this night everybody in the office decided to go out to our colleague's concert. It was the release of his band's new album. The idea was to show him that more than just colleagues we are a big family. Yes in my office I learnt that more than professional relationship a team needs the personal relationship, friendship and full support. Yes full support because in the next day we had a very tough day of work and even thus we stood there for him until the end :)


Moments of Joy
Friendship: days after, was my bursdag (birthday). For some reason I've been online on facebook until very late in the night, I started receiving congratulations one hour before I started celebrating here in Oslo, my friends from Mozambique showed me their attention from 0:00 (GMT+2) :)
I was the first arriving at the office, thinking that nobody would remember, my surprise was when my office mate greeted me cheerfully GRATULERER MED DAGEN (Happy Birthday) IVANDRO, hours later we had a cellebration in the office during the lunch time, they taught me the Norwegian way of sing at Bday parties, a very funny and beautiful moment.
At the end of the day, my housemates gave me a beautiful and crazy party at home...(Love u guys).
