Thank you! And a happy new year 2008!
So, the last day of the year 2007 is here and it's time to look back.
The year 2007 had a lot of unexpected surprises for me... I don't think I've ever had such a moving, challenging and intense year in my whole life.
AIESEC has pushed me further than I ever thought I could go.
I was elected LCP of the LC Geneva in January and a whole new adventure started. I've been blessed to be able to work with 3 amazing individuals for one year, who have changed the way I look at life. We had tough times, we had fun together, but most of there was a lot of respect and understanding, support and team work and I can't express in words how thankful I am to have spent the year with you, Bilal, Nadja and Ravaka!
Connect2007 was a big highlight of this year. I believe the best proof how fond our team is of this conference, is that wherever we go (Kick-off, Do-it, IC, EuroCo, etc.) our green Connect2007 jackets are always present. At this place I want to thank Sarah, Regula, Joe and Joan for this experience!
Another blessing of this year was to be part of the most amazing LCP-team ever (I know this is very subjectif, but I'm convinced that it's true). I love you guys! You are even on my desktop background at the moment. Hahaha! Thanks for the LCP Weekends (the official and unofficial ones), the deep conversations outside the meetings, our time at EuroCo, Starbucks in Lausanne, coffee at the university of Bern, phone calls, msn-chats, etc.
The year 2007 has also been a year of friendship and losses.
I met James at Kick-off 2007 and I can't be grateful enough for all the support and friendship he has shown me this year. THANKS! You are always there when I need someone to help me get on my feet again. Thanks for believing in me! I hope to meet you again soon, hopefully in the U.K. of course!
I've been blessed to spend many many hours with the most amazing girl walking on this earth: Sarah! Soulsister, I can't put into words how much you mean to me. THANKS!
There are many other people I would like to mention, who have changed my life this year, but out of fear to give the impression that I favour anyone, I want to do that in person instead.
I also lost some people that were very close to my heart.
There were people I hurt, people who broke my heart, people I neglected due to all the other things on my mind and people who became strangers to me because I or they changed.
I want to ask forgivness for those I hurt. It was never my intention.
I want to forgive those who hurt me. I know it wasn't your intention.
I want to ask forgivness for having neglected certain people. You were on my mind , but I didn't manage to give you the time I wanted to.
I want to thank my family for all their love and support.
My parents were supporting me a 100% with everything I did.
When I came home with 10 people due to Transition weekends or LCP weekends, they were always so helpful. They never said anything, when I barely had time to visit them in Baden. They told me that they were going to support me a 100% when I told them that I wanted to run for the MC. THANKS! Jag älskar er!
And I want to tell Sofia and Jessica how proud I am of you and your achievements this year. I know I often don't show it enough, but I love you and am grateful to be able to be your older sister.
So, and now I'm sitting here and writing this blog entry when I should be doing a million other things. ¨
But I wanted to take this time to thank you and wish you all a happy new year, a lot of success and love for the year 2008, challenges and failures to learn from, and that you might meet a lot of inspiring people, but especially that you might become an inspiriation to others!
Yours,
Sara
