A fresh alumnus' reflections

Hey there everyone reading this. My President term is kind of over. The official goodbye will be at the Local Planning Meeting , somewhere in the end of May. I'm more of a spiritual presence in AIESEC these days, helping out here and there when someone needs my help. But otherways, i feel like staying beside and the new ones lead the way is the best way I can help them.

Some feelings I've experienced these days:

When I see the new guys, leadership team and members performing I feel like a grandfather watching his kids playing in the backyard. Except they're not playing, but actually taking an organization further. In the same time seeing this makes me feel like the mission I had these past years is accomplished. This gives me great pride.

I also feel like a circle has closed, and I'm quite sad about that; it's time for me to move on and open a new one. This was the hardest part right here.

Finding a new meaning in life, or not necessarily a new meaning but a new way of leaving the meaning I already have. How does that meaning sound like, well I asked myself these question quite often these days and the conclusions are that... as i said... this was the hardest part:):)

I'm not as confused as it might sound, it's pretty clear what i want. I just that I haven't formulated exactly yet, in that magical way that would make me get up at 5am and giving me wings in the daily work.

But, anyways, things are moving forward and that's good. I'm having an interview I'm really excited about in a few hours, I recently started to actually read stuff for my final paper :) and on Tuesday I'm starting my driver's license courses. So, life doesn't end when you get out of AIESEC. Actually I think it's just beginning ;)

Until next time,
Marius.
