Some thoughts on DO-IT 2006...

A few days have gone by since the end of an exciting project called DO-IT 2006. It wasn't always easy, there were moments I doubted the decision I made after KICK-OFF 2006, the decision to join the OC. But these difficult moments made the whole project special, if everything had gone smoothly I would have taken the success for granted. But now I'm glad that everything went pretty well. I remember me saying in a discussion with Majken on Wednesday evening that my goal for the conference is to simply survive. I obviousely reached this goal. :-) With every day of the conference I grew with the task, wanted to deliver the best work possible. To be honest our team wasn't a real team until the conference started, we never had a real teambuilding, meetings with all OC members present were rare (except some on msn). It wasn't like we didn't want to be a team, just the circumstances made it very difficult. During summer break the OC was spread all over Switzerland, had summer jobs, went travelling. It was quite a challenge to coordinate everything and keep the project going.
So it was stunning to see how the team grew during the week of the conference. I can say that in the end we were a real team, supported each other and had a great time together. It was also very nice to work with the extended OC that contributed a lot to the success of DO-IT 2006. Big thank you for your amazing job! All in all DO-IT 2006 was a unique experience that allowed me to learn more about myself and what I'm actually capable of.

The OC-picture was taken in a restaurant in Fiesch on Sunday evening. Unfortunately there's no picture with all members of the OC and the extended OC. Too bad...

During the last couple of days I was thinking a lot about my next steps in AIESEC. I was generally asking myself what is important to me, what went wrong during the last couple of months, what could be improved and which topics really interest me. I don't know yet which opportunity I will grasp, how my life AIESEC-wise will continue. Fact is that I enjoy being part of the network and having the chance to discover and develop my potential, to simply feel the AIESEC-vibe and to meet so many great individuals. Where will the AIESEC-path lead me? Hopefully I will know the answer soon...
