Today was one of those blessed days! when you feel so accomplished and proud! Let me share with you my moment of success!
One year ago, I arrived to a new land, filled with doubt and concern of never being able to find the leader in me! How could I be the newcomer and lead, in a place filled with highly qualified leaders?
My leadership was always built on an understanding that a leader's main role is to produce leaders! I kept that in my heart and did what I always do best, to step forward, and knock on doors!
As an international student, I suffered to find my way! I always wondered what did fellow international students do to get help?
I felt an urge to bring international students together for some fun, reflect on who we are, and share our worries and our rich cultural backgrounds. Doors started to open one by one, until today, I did it! I was able to facilitate the birth of a new executive team for the international students' association at my school, an association that has stopped supporting international students for around two years.
A lot of preparations and planning, many challenging moments, but finally I did it. Nothing felt better than hearing them plan for all those opportunities they aim to provide.
I did my role and gave them the key, to where I began totally on my own, rejected by a previous leader who refused to support me! Now, I do the opposite, with my heart in peace, giving new leaders the opportunity to bring out the magic in them, and learn how to pass on their leadership next year ...
