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.
