The thank yous never get old...

Its funny you know finishing my fifth year with AIESEC New Zealand. In an organisation where we are lucky to have people around for more than one/two years, and three means you are OLD, a fifth year can be pretty daunting. And particularly when I think about next year and being able to use the line "When I joined AIESEC you were in primary school" for some of the new recruits, it can seem even more daunting.

Yet as much as I have joked about this lately, I have absolutely no regrets, the past 5 years have flown by, and there have always been those little moments which remind me why I do what I do. My passion for AIESEC really started when I got my first thank you, after the first TN I realised, at the end of the internship the intern hugged me goodbye and whispered thank you. And now years later, last night I had one of those moments again, when the intern from my LC of last year, Canterbury, said goodbye to me and thanked me for making his time in NZ special.

It is these simple thank yous which always remind me that what we do in AIESEC is amazing, and I wouldnt want to be anything else but MCP of AIESEC New Zealand this year.

Now enough sentimental stuff from me for one day :P, nothing like a 4000 word literature review that you have to get finished in one day (yet havent really started) to bring you back down to earth! (Why oh why did I decide to pick up correspondence postgrad papers!!!)
