Exactly two years ago I was living a carefree life - traveling, discovering what I want to do career-wise, training with one of the best European breakdance crews, awakening my Slavic half and of course, loving.
A highlight of that summer was the top AIESEC Ukraine conference - Leadership Development Seminar. I was a delegate there and it gave start to a good dozen friendships with the brightest people on the other side of the planet. It rocked.
Yesterday I got an email from Halynka, one of the organizers of this year’s LDS. It’s going to be even bigger this year. Hundreds of top AIESEC members from all over Ukraine, five days of all-day sessions and all-night parties. This is quite likely the top youth event of the year in Ukraine, a 48-million strong country.
The Organizing Committee offered me to chair the conference.
To chair is to be an inspiration, an anchor in place and time, a focal point of the conference experience for hundreds of people. It’s an honour beyond belief, especially for someone like me who’s been involved for a long time, but really didn’t move up the AIESEC ladder.
I accepted and in just over three weeks I will be on that huge stage with hundreds and hundreds of eyes looking my way. I must move them, make them smile and believe in their dreams.
All this thanks to the OC and my friends on both sides of the Ocean. I am truly blessed to know them. I won’t let them down. Погуляем на славу =)))
