Majkus: latest impressions

My life has changed. Macedonia became a better place for me. And it's all because of MOSEM experience... One year ago I came to Macedonia as Chair for the national conference. At the premeeting we went with conference manager and international facilitators to see the city. One year after I was the conference manager, who was a city guide for internationals... This was very strange feeling. (...) I have spent over 4 months in AIESEC Macedonia, but i felt like the stranger here. I was not sure if what I'm doing makes sence, has the value to anyone apart from me. I had doubts about my abilities of doing things. Only MOSEM was giving me hope. And then things just happened. I was designing the conference- something that I like the most in AIESEC. Starting with applications for facilitators, creating agenda, communication with Organizing Committee, selecting the chair and facis, designing templates, developing sessions... I was working with the feeling, that it can be turning point for me. And it was! I have done something for my people here. And what is more important- I was not alone. I had great people supporting me- Ravin, Titel, Vida, Stena, Toni and Iva; I had Trcko, Bartek and Roman, and finally Fawzy. Ah! I'm not even able to express what was happening to me during those 4 days! Such an intensive experience has never happened to me. Thousands of thoughts, challenging conversations and situations, on both personal and professional level... MOSEM '06 was a shaking experience for me for sure. I guess It's been a while since last time I was questioning myself so deep. The biggest challenge is to really take an active role in your own learning when you have nobody else to take care of it... Sometimes I miss Maciek (LCP 03/04) who used to have performance appraisals meetings with every VP, asking what are we learning and where we need his support. In NST nobody was doing it, here in Mace I'm also the final responsible for what I'm getting out of my AIESEC XP.
