This day brings with it the end of an era: it is the official end of my AIESEC career at AIESEC Victoria. Each term as vice president begins March 1 and ends February 28. This past weekend, AIESEC Victoria's incoming and outgoing teams planned for the future and developed an annual plan, strategic actions and budget to make it happen. It was so inspiring to sit down and discuss our successes over the past year and how the new team can build on these successes and learn from our mistakes to have a great year for themselves. I am excited for the future of AIESEC Victoria. I have full confidence in this new team. March 1st brings with it bittersweet memories. Sweet and sour someone said this weekend. On the one hand I will feel relieved: I no longer have responsibilities and I am excited to move into the future and explore new opportunities. On the other hand, I'm terrified of leaving. AIESEC was at ease. It was (somewhat) predictable. I have made some amazing friends through organizing here in Victoria and across Canada. I leave AIESEC with many beautiful memories and many goals achieved. I guess my career at AIESEC is not complete yet. There is still the option to do an internship. Just found a replacement for me, so there's still turnover and training for the next month. The Career Fair will be held March 9-10 and I am volunteering. Then there's the Coastal Conference March 26-28 in Vancouver, where I'll be a facilitator. So for the next month things will be the same, but once April arrives, I'll be back home: no school, no work, no AIESEC. Wow, things are going to change. I'm excited to get out there and yet I can't help but look back at the end of this chapter of... middle of paper... to appreciate and learn about the world from a visual perspective. different level.*... and that's just the beginning: there are so many other things I learned from AIESEC that I can't even begin to list them all. Under the AIESEC logo are the words "the international platform that enables young people to explore and develop their leadership potential so that they can have a positive impact on society". For a long time these were just words to me, but now, looking back on all my AIESEC successes (and with them some failures), I have really been given the opportunity to explore and develop my leadership. I have learned more about myself and my strengths and weaknesses. as I enter the world of work, I look forward to living up to the second half of the sentence: having a positive impact on society. Thank you AIESEC, you have truly changed my life.
