Official Aplication - 2015
Dear LCVP applicant 2015, You are facing one of the most important decisions in your life so far; some may perceive it as an exaggerated statement but think about this, what differentiates a regular decision from an important one? Well, for me an important decision is the one that has the power of changing the entire course of your life, one that puts you in a crossroad that you are not allowed to re-visit because circumstances will not get to be the same again; the way an experience may change you at this point will not be the same in the future. With this, i'm not saying that your only option is now, but if you are reading this, it's because you're in the middle of that crossroad, deciding whether to wait for a better moment in your life, a time where you are not as busy, a time where you feel more prepared, but let me tell you something, that time will never come, because there will always be obstacles in your path and taking this decision is not a matter of time or preparation but mainly a matter of believe. So, do you believe in yourself and the power of your actions? Do you believe in your capacity to go beyond your "limits"? Do you believe in our committee and our organization?. If the answer to those questions are positive, then stop hesitating, take the challenge of entering the road towards one of the best experiences in your life, one that will give you a broader perspective of society and one that will give you tools to shape not only your future but the one of those around you. I'm looking forward to count on you for the 2015 period, welcome to this process and wish you the greatest of success! Regards,
ERIC MONCADA PALACIOS PRESIDENT OF AIESEC EAFIT 2015
