hard decision
Hello dear reader! :)
These days I was busy doing member recruitments and interviews for AIESEC. After a week and a half of hard work we can see the results: 26 new members. This week made me think back at the time when I joined AIESEC or tried to join...
If you wanna know the whole story sit back, relax and enjoy your lecture!
It all started in the summer of 2002 on the seaside. I was enjoying my first vacation as a student with my friends you can guess where... of course, at Costinesti (...where else?), when I met a very special person. Her name is not so important now, what is important is that after 3 years and a half we still manage to talk to each other from time to time. The second important thing is that she joined AIESEC Oradea the autumn of 2002, and I, hoping to meet her again I tried to join AIESEC Tirgu-Mures. At that time I knew very little about the organization from an ex-collegue of mine: they go to a lot of conferences, have partys, only elite is allowed...I went to an interview, pretty convinced that I will get in, especially because my ex-collegue was there and also because I knew another member in the reviewing board from basketball. My surprise was when I found out that I wasn't elected to be an AIESEC member. I was very disappointed. Maybe not because I didn't entered, but because of my friends who I guess could have done something for me. Anyway their recruitment was so "good" that in march 2003 they did another recruitment. this says it all.The truth is that if I was in their place maybe I would do the same thing. But still...what did they have to lose if they would have chosen me then ???
The drama still goes on, not my drama ;), but AIESEC Tirgu-Mures's drama: in march 2003 they made another members recruitment. Another failure. They didn't manage to recruit enough members. At that time only one option for them: head-hunting...so here am I now.First thing I've done in AIESEC: LC meeting, went out at Leo with Bazz, went to Bazz's party, met Cornelia, went to our Local Planning Meeting, went to Iasi for 2 weeks...and this was just in 2 months of AIESEC.My life just made a 180 degrees turn. The rest is history.
Funny thing though, how the wheel of life turns. One of the persons that could make a difference at the first interviews, is in the same place like I was back in autumn 2002. ...and I'm in her place.
What will I do? Will I have my revenge ?...after all, she took almost one year of my life... or forgive & forget ?

Have friends! Have good friends!
