12 days after 1 year

It all started from this moment

and already 12 days i'm not Vice President of eXchange in AIESEC Chisinau

but...

1 year have passed... 1 year of unforgetable experience, gathering new skills, networking and simply 1 great year of challenges and learning...

i will not describe here what exactly i have learned, because it will be a very long post, so i will focus on the most splendid moments of my VP term...

you know, people say that your experience totaly depends on how much time you spend during something... e.g. you have 5 years of doing something, so you know everything, but if you have 1 or 2 years, you have to learn a lot.
it's a stereotype...
I know a bunch of people who are real fast track learners, I mean that it doesn't depend how many things you've made, but how much you can learn from each experience you have lived...
I know people who became Presidents of AIESEC Local Committees in one year and less, who became Vice Presidents in half of a year and even in several weeks, and they have a really great experience left behind...
So, what was this year for me?
Just take a look on this pictures...

Official transmission of mandates


Being responsible for eXchange


Teambuilding for OCs


With a Friend near me


With amazing conferences facilitated






And international conferences attended






...it was a year of learning for me... a year of personal discovery and interpersonal understanding, a year which changed me a lot and helped to understand myself and what I want to do further...
AIESEC helped me to get to know bright individuals and to know myself better... in one year... and it also teached me to look only ahead


And what now? what to do next? is it over? I'll see... people always say that there a lot of opportunities in AIESEC - and there are really plenty of them, but this is another topic...

So, this was my story

And what i can tell for sure is that it is not the end of it...

Another international AIESEC conference or A change in me

Recently I have returned from an international conference (one more) from Ukraine. It was a conference regarding how to become a trainer, tips, tools, etc.

Well, it was one of the best out of around 10 national/international conferences to which i've ever attended. And not only because i had a lot of learning (i think the learning process of a trainer is at least as big as learning of delegates, but this is another topic), but also becasue it was the coolest, craziest and funny conference not only for me, but for all the faci team. All the faci meetings, dry runs were not only productive, but funny also... Oh, and if to remember all the "Quotable Quotes" (similar to Karate from @ Moldova, actually it's the same) which at the end of the conference were transformed into "The Iulian Cronicle" :), because more than 50% of them were told by me and written on the flipchart... and each time when i look at the ppt with them, i remember those wonderful moments spent at this conference... It was crazy :) and I would like to thank all those wonderfull personalities, each of them for being unique and that i know you now :)

But, along with all the fun and learning, this conference changed me and put in front of a decision, a very challenging one, not to say important, cz all of them are important... What to do next? After university?
Work. Yes. Work, but as who? Actually this question is going round in my head for a long time, searching for an answer - what i want to do next??? And I think this conference brought me closer to my choice... We'll see... soon
