A year pasted since I left home for India. Many things have changed tremendously in this shortly 1 year. The way I looked at the world and my priorities. One very significantly represented thing was of course nothing else than my study. From a Dean List recipient to be one of the worse Further Maths grade recipient, I thought. Not that after this internship made me placed my study last but it made my mind clear of what I wanted to achieve from my university life, what I wanted most in these 4 years.
During my internship in India, I have learned and experienced a lot. Those joys and obstacles made me understand the true me and the mean of living life to the fullest. Many have asked what I have learned from my internship. Well I have always an answer for them…telling them how much I have enjoyed meeting people and traveling and how challenging the internship was. But honestly this was what words can’t describe and what money can’t buy. It was all deep in my heart.
Lately, I have a friend of mine which also applied to go on an internship with AIESEC, asked me the same question but my answer to her was different from all those that I have said to others. I knew that it was my responsibility to tell her all that she have faced. We spend hours discussing about my fear there; my safety, loneliness, language barrier, food tolerance, cleanliness, health and sexual harassment and of course we did discuss on ways to overcome those. We in AIESEC are supposed to be like a big family. We are always there for each other. This is what that makes AIESEC IIEP so different from any other exchange programme.
Yes that I have perhaps experienced one of those worst night mare that an intern could have but I blamed no one instead I thank them, those who has been so supportive and have assisted me all this way. I believe disasters may take place at any time any where. It was just another test for me. So let us be strong!
Day by day my passion for AIESEC grew stronger and stronger. The vision that we have, "Peace and Fulfillment of Mankind" is indeed very challenging and it is also my dream. Thinking of those unfortunate children in India and the poverty there made me realize how fortunate I am. So I believe we in AIESEC can make the different but yet…. at time I am so disappointed to learn that these words mean nothing to others. They were merely 5 words put together. I tried to make some changes but these people are just too result oriented. Many have lost focus on their journey to achieve their goals and for the fame that comes with it. I wish that these people will be enlightened and be lead back our vision.
Let us share one same vision that is for the world and the people!
