April Graduation 2008. I stepped out of uni after 4 years of university life. I have learnt so much during these 4 years and many wonderful individuals had crossed my path.


3 years + optional 1 year to get an endorsement in Strategic Management. Degree conferred, confirmed but I shall not conform.


My addiction with soft toys had led this bear to be present on the day I graduate.

Working in the IT department during the year of 2007 had gave me just what I needed on my CV- office experience, sales, logistics, data entry, helpdesk, referee and what not! Perfect... The pay was also good and that funded my year. Good pay, easy job, nice environment, and convenience to lecture halls is such a blessing. Also I've managed to score the position more or less as a full time staff even though I'm technically called a "casual" staff.


Colleague of mine who got a position at the Library Helpdesk as C. Computers closed down.

A small bunch of Cantabrian AIESECERS who graduated at the same time. These people are amazing and we've learned so much from each other and build each other up in just a year. We've had our highs and lows and 2007 was a year not to be forgotten. In just a year I see not only myself had developed so much, but all these people as well.

If I could make a recommendation to a student, be part of AIESEC. AIESEC had taken me far beyond what I've imagined myself. One's perceptions, goals and thinking in life will definitely be challenged beyond their wildest dreams and one will grow and develop so much that they'll never regret the very decision in partaking a world famous student organisation. (E.g. Endorsed, recognised, sponsored and acknowledged by famous companies such as Deutsche Bank, World Bank, World Health Organisation, United Nations, Cadbury, HP, Shell, HSBC, and so on.... the list is exhaustive....)


I'm glad I've been part of this wonderful organisation, that helped me develop so much. I would not be the person I am today for it not be AIESEC. It had also provide me the real-world opportunities to go out to the marketplace and pursue corporate partnerships, sponsorships and networking with powerful figures. If I could reverse time, I would've joined AIESEC earlier, conducting more real-world business planning, hosting conferences and what not. AIESEC is in 110 countries now, and you also get to go to worldwide conferences and national conferences, meet freaking fantastic individuals, learn from the sessions, go on exchange and have a fun time with like-minded people.

Funny enough, when I told my dad one day that I was part of AIESEC, he brought up that he was in AIESEC too during his university years in Belgium and was in the national committee during his days. What a surprising news! I guess it must be in the genes.
