"You express the truth of your character with the choice of your actions" -Steve Maraboli
As you all know we're already more than halfway through September. Some of you have already started midterms and started to panic about catching up on schoolwork. In addition to all this, I see that you all are taking the time to work hard for AIESEC and help deliver an awesome winter peak.
It's certainly challenging, the pain of going through some of the changes we're implementing as an LC and trying to work within our current reality. I understand, I'm going through the same struggles with you, and it's been quite a challenge as we continue to progress forward. And as we move forward I wanted to share some insight I had that impacted me recently.
I've doubted, I've experienced lows, and I've had to experience a roller coaster of emotions at the same time as I've gone through my AIESEC experience. However, despite what has happened, I was able to understand that it's all part of the experience, and that being an AIESECer means that we'll constantly be challenged in ways that we never expect. That it's all part of the journey and that what truly matters is what we do, despite the fear and the doubt.
Like what I said in the beginning of the semester, this may well be one of the hardest semesters in AIESEC for all of us. But I have faith in all of you. Don't be afraid to fail and don't let failure be an excuse to not achieve great things. We can be the generation that changes it all for Arizona State and in order to do that we need to stay true who we say we are and take the right actions, actions that will not only impact us in the next few months, but that will impact the next generation of fearless leaders.
I've got confidence in you all and I'll be here to support you no matter what. Now let's get this done.
Much love,
Alex
