Page 3: My aiesec story

I am an AIESECer & this is my story. Quite an

ordinary one....

Page 4: My aiesec story

30.3.2008

Page 5: My aiesec story

23:00, 30.03.2008 I am sitting in the office & printing

handouts for a national conference. I am

annoyed and tired but it needs to be done....

Page 6: My aiesec story

14:00, 10.4.2008

I have missed another family reunion, because I

really need to get this partnership for my

country so that I can pay the salaries of my MC members this year.

Maybe I’ll try to see my family another day. I really miss them very

much....

Page 7: My aiesec story

Why AIESEC?

What for? What

drives me?

Why now?

Page 8: My aiesec story

22:00, 15.5.2008

I am back home, exhausted. My friends

and family do not understand what I am

doing…

Page 9: My aiesec story

I feel lonely…

5:30, 21.5.2008

My alarm clock is ringing. I need to go to the airport to pick-up my new MC member from Nigeria. I hope

that I will be there on time ...

Page 12: My aiesec story

10:00, 21.5.2008

The plane is late by 8 hours. I can’t wait

anymore. I need to go back to my office. I am

on the bus and thinking...

Page 13: My aiesec story

Why am I doing all of this?

Page 14: My aiesec story

Unfortunately I don't have time to think about it. In 2 hours, I need to submit 2

reports to my LCPs, reply 89 emails, work with my VPER

on the proposal for the government for a grant we

are applying for and prepare for the meeting with my BoA

tomorrow. I need to make sure

everything is ready. My team is depending on me.

Page 15: My aiesec story

Hold on…

Who is going to pick-up my Kazeem from the

airport?

3 years later

Page 19: My aiesec story

It is a sunny Sunday 25.9.2011

Page 20: My aiesec story

I have just finished my internship & have been

recognized as an AIESEC alumni.

Page 21: My aiesec story

I’m in the mountains. This is where I always come to take a breath of fresh air and more importantly, relax.

Page 22: My aiesec story

Where is my water bottle? I can’t find it… it must be

deeper inside my backpack…Hold on…

What’s that?

Page 23: My aiesec story

Wow, it’s familiar…

… I haven’t seen that picture for a long time…

... I looked much younger back then…

Love. Motivation. Direction…

…It’s the picture of my MC team

…that was…what? 3 years ago…

Page 24: My aiesec story

With this living memory in my hands, with the

sun shining high above in the sky…

Page 25: My aiesec story

I am reflecting on my AIESEC journey...

Page 26: My aiesec story

are flying through my

Feelings

Mind

Thoughts

Heart

Page 27: My aiesec story

I am realizing that I have friends all over

the world…

Page 28: My aiesec story

I am realizing I have met diverse faces

in diverse places.

Page 29: My aiesec story

… this is called being a “Global Citizen”.

Page 30: My aiesec story

I am happy to say that I have more and more

friends who are sharing common values as

myself...

Page 31: My aiesec story

I am realizing that I have practical

experience in leading teams, speaking in public and driving

results… I have run an organization!

I have several career opportunities.

The only confusion now is to choose one of

them...

Page 32: My aiesec story

I can communicate fluently in three

languages.

I am recognized as a young role-model in

various areas...

Page 33: My aiesec story

I have had an experience of a lifetime. This experience has helped me through my

university and work.

Page 34: My aiesec story

And most importantly...

Page 35: My aiesec story

…I keep growing ever since I started my AIESEC journey...

Page 36: My aiesec story

I discovered my talents...

Page 37: My aiesec story

I discovered what I want to achieve...

Page 38: My aiesec story

I strongly believe I will achieve what I want.

Page 39: My aiesec story

and make an impact.

Page 40: My aiesec story

Like a soft wind, a smile slowly grew on

my face…

Page 41: My aiesec story

I am remembering the joy I have had...

Page 42: My aiesec story

...the parties I have been in...

Page 43: My aiesec story

...the friendships I have made...

Page 44: My aiesec story

...the deep and inspiring conversations I have had...

Page 45: My aiesec story

The “hello’s” and “see you’s” I have said…

Page 46: My aiesec story

…and the tears I have shed.

Page 47: My aiesec story

Of course there have been challenging

moments. I remember days when I was totally

exhausted, staying long at the office,

eating curry samosas with my team because

we couldn’t afford anything else, missing my family & friends,

but...

Page 48: My aiesec story

...but who cares?

Page 49: My aiesec story

Life is good.

Page 50: My aiesec story
