The best 5 months of my University days

I came across this while scouting my pc this morning and thought to share, even though its like 2 years late.

****************

It’s been 3 dragging months for us, especially for me. Lots of commitments on me. School commitment, AIESEC commitment, and 2010 Focus commitment, though I have being able to rank them on a scale of preference thus; AIESEC, 2010 Focus, then school and here’s why;

AIESEC cos I’m the LCP (Local Committee president) for Kano with lots of programs and people to manage as well as goals to be met chief of which is for me to bring back AIESECkano to being an LC on its own and no more under AIESECjos.

2010 Focus cos I’m chairman organizing committee and a lot has to be done to save face by January. I have vowed to deliver a better photo-album than last year’s and an improved dinner and awards night than last year. In short, I want to organize a show better than previous ones and hard to be surpassed by subsequent ones.

Finally school cos hey even if I don’t enter class I can pass my exams but on top of that management is a course that deals with reality, and my being LCP and Chairman, I practice management, and this helps me in my examinations cos I am able to give real life and first hand examples when the need arise.

One thing peculiar with these guys mentioned above is by January, I should be doing an assessment of how I have done the past academic year. Have I been able to meet my set goals? Exceed expectations? Flop? Make new friends? Make new enemies? And on top of all, have I been able to develop myself?

Knowing myself through and through, I don’t see obstacles. I remember the words of Rhythm fm presenter (Big Tyme); “put God first and the rest will fall into place”.

I believe that in carrying out a project, how I start will determine the end. Even if you have a shaky start, as long as you are able to realize and accept that the start is shaky and you are ready to make amends, then the end is sure to be as expected.

But before the much awaited January, which is just 5 months away, I’ll just sit back, make an assessment of the past 3 months, make amends, ship out, ship in and get ready to get back to work in earnest when school resumes for second semester. And after that, through the exchange program AIESEC provides me, I’ll be looking forward to going on a 5month holiday/management traineeship exchange program in South Africa? Who knows, I may even apply to be on the MC of some other country out there?

I must say that those 5 months were the best 5 months of my university days. One thing i know i achieved for AIESECkano is sustainence, a united house with new followers ready and willing to move the entity forward. And they still are moving it forward unto greater things.

2010 Focus had a little setback in the delivery of our photo-album, infact we had to delay issuing the album until the dinner was over because we were totally disappointed and completely gutted with the result we got. I hear no one has matched what we did. I'll do a sepparate piece soon.

I had to delay my project until after the 2010 focus party so i could concentrate on the event. It took me 2 weeks to write a 31 page project that was accepted.

All in all, massive 5 months, massive impact, massive everything. Massive massive massive massive team i worked with. From the AIESEC team to the BOF crew were all amazing guys.
