Eventually I did manage to find a time and to gather all my thoughts at once to share with you. Only yesterday morning I did return from Adaptation Camp and it seems that I didn't go anywhere and only few small things and one big feeling inside tells me that it is not true.
And that feeling is that I am a different person now, I have changed something in my mind about perception of other people, about ability to work as a team a group of 14 people, about what conference can be and what you can gain from it. And more and more and more thoughts about the world, my role, my strong side, my weak side, my attitudes, my abilities, my dreams.
After such events you can easily explain what does challenging worldview means to other people and you are crazy about such a great point about AIESEC.
I don't want to write more about how it was cool to be a faci and so on because Olya did her best in that. Today I want to share with all of you how happy I am because of our newies. Last year I didn't experience this feeling and I don't know why. But I am sure that this is what makes thousands of people all over the world everyday to come to AIESEC office and do their job and it is the knowledge that we are doing the great job and that our vision is not so unreachable.
Next session is over and you see all those guys dancing and smiling, talking and laughing, making new friends and trying to argue about something and then somebody from faci team came to you and said that your guys are the best. And in few moments you see it... You see how whole delegation is going to be punished as one team for one rain coat, you see your best roll call in your entire AIESEC life done by those people, you are running in the plenary and screaming "Give me a..." and they support you with all their energy.
And then everybody left and we stayed on the site for one more day: without sessions, without agenda, without hurrying somewhere... And here is where you see how these people are already living AIESEC culture. They are dancing with you Tunak, tunak in the center of the city and then dealing with police, they are playing beaches, beaches for few hours don't want to stop...
I am sitting now and thinking what will be ahead and then I do remember those moments with all of you and remember that in our lives we have only present moment. I can say that that day was the best example how people can live their present with whole passion, committment and energy.
Waiting to see all of you in 2 days.
