Leaving a Mark


On Thursday i changed my Profile picture on face book and i put a foot mark. The foot mark to me is a symbol of leaving a mark or legacy in what i have been doing or its that i want to leave a mark in the things that i am or almost doing.

On 3rd July it was My birth day but also it was three days after the end of my AIESEC term in Rwanda. While in Rwanda i worked with a group of amazing individuals, Kevo, Lolu, crissy,Gwasam, Freddie and Yvette. This team was commonly known as the Usual Suspects.

The few months that i worked with them i learnt alot about myself and most important was that they made believe that i had something to give to AIESEC Rwanda which i had not noticed. I believe in 1+1=3 and i hope the little contributions that i made were worthy it.

Right now this amazing team has moved on, Sam is in the country with the largest number of universities (India), and peace will also be following him. Both will be doing internship in Tata Consultancy services. Crissy opted to first work and then do an internship, freddie is still studying. Yvette has moved on to step into the big shoes of Kevin as MCP for AIESEC Rwanda.
Kevin is also in the search for an internship ( I wish you the best bro).

And then you should be wondering how about me........what am i up to? Well its hard to believe but i am going to be in AIESEC for another one year. Several people have convinced me to take on the position of MCVP TM because the candidate who was selected to do it got another leadership role.

I have been thinking about it for a long time and the more i thought about it, the more i am convinced that i can do it. Every one says it will be the best thing i will ever do for AIESEC Uganda.

So i have rolled up my sleeves, fine tunning my brain to contain the pressure from being talemt management, working as a solar consultant, studying at the International Institute for Global leadership among other tasks.

Hopefully this time around i will be able to leave a bigger mark (compared to the foot of an elephant). Wish me Luck!
