As a young & striving 19 year old, one may not experience life at its best, not because we are not ready to accept the atrocities of life, but just because our choices are not that critical.
On the contrary, I consider myself fortunate to make one such choice which competely influenced my self being. This choice was none other than choosing to go for an internship!
My unshaken trust in AIESEC to change lives eventually effected me after working for 2 years for AIESEC Chandigarh, India, when I applied and got selected for an education internship in Krasnoyarsk, Russiain summer camp. It was a journey whose leader and follower was no different but myself. My complete stay in an alien environment (initially) was a challenge on my face which I openly accepted and with the help of AIESEC Krasnoyarsk overcame victorius.
I would sum my internship experience as the most memorable and learned event that I could come across uptil now. I never wished to go back, but time is so unjust and cruel, it always passes by & all we are left is memories.
I wish to go back there, again get a pick-up by an AIESECer at the airport, have a homestay for a day with completely unknown people who just in a matter of day’s time become a family outside home, head for my camp where I am given the most amazing welcome by my students, again teach the same children every morning, go for bonfire with the whole camp along the riverside, scold my students to sleep on time every night, prepare lessons for them overnight, to be able to stand with honor and dignity & sing out loud my national anthem infront of more than a hundred people and being the only person to represent my country and at the end, meet all those people whom I never knew before I came, but came so close to me in this short span that I can never forget these friends who made my effort worthy of it.
All this was made possible because of AIESEC. I took this oppurtunity, now the question is do you want to experience the same.
It’s upto you!
