End of JumpStart! 2007

After 2 days of intense conferencing, JumpStart! 2007 has finally come to an end. This induction time is really a wonderful experience for me. Going back to the Boys Brigade / Girls Brigade Campsite at Sembawang this time round as an Alumni when one year ago I was there as a AIESEC newbie.

I did a lot of sharing and reflection this round with many of the newbies and it seemed to have helped me a lot in return, like realizing how I had benefited from AIESEC.

Knowing so many new friends from other universities as well as other countries - SMU, NUS, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Korea, Britain, Indonesia, Thailand and even Egypt (though I think Yasmin is actually a Singaporean, lol) As well as how passionate and friendly my new friends can be - eg, my friends in Taiwan actually fork out a lot of time as well as money to take me and my other friends to sight-see in the beautiful country in Taiwan.

AIESEC has also provided me challenges in many ways - it taught me to do proper networking, presentation skills, courage to speak to strangers, the background work of doing facilitation work as well as others; I not perfect in those yet, but I do believe that I will in time to come.

This short one year has really allowed me to grow in many ways, I do hope that the newbies too will contribute as well as grow in ways that would allow them to future leaders.
