MCP 18 - 19 AIESEC in Slovakia
Dear AIESECer, it feels like it was yesterday when I was in your shoes. Having strong passion and commitment but ques=oning myself if I was the best candidate to step up for this challenge. One year later I s=ll don’t have the answer for it and I don’t think I ever will. But at any given moment you have two choices. To step back into safety or step forward into growth. Which one will you choose?
- We don’t grow when things are easy. We grow when we face challenges. And I can guarantee you that the MCP term will be a challenge. Maybe the biggest one you will ever experience. The level of responsibility & impact is enormous. But then again, AIESEC in Slovakia needs people like you. For the country. For Slovakia. Enjoy the process and rock it!
