My first fall... becames a success

As Steve Jobs said, is all about "connecting the dots"... Three years ago, just four months after became part of AIESEC, I was making a traineeship in Banco de Credito in Lima, at the same time working as ceeder in CLPA, and also working with other LC members from CLUL and CLUC, thank to that experience I was very motivated, with a lot of ideas on my mind and wanted to take a leadership role; so I applied for LCVP OGX, I still was in Lima when I applied, but my LC won’t trust on me, maybe because few members really knows me, maybe because I was “too Newie” applying for the EB position, the fact is that I applied for VP OGX together with two great candidates, my VP OGX and other OGX key member… in the first round I lost. :(

How did I feel? Well, of course very sad!!! I was too disappointed with my LC, I was thinking… why…? now what…? My only chance was to wait until next year, I thought "I lost my chance to be LCP, and what can I do now?" (I knew that if I wanted to became LCP I needed to be VP before), you know... I really desired that leadership position, and I really desired to be the VP OGX, but that didn’t happen. To Quit wasn’t an option!!! So I decided to work hard as SN Manager with a new personal goal, to became the best matcher in LC Arequipa, then I started to MATCH every SN who comes to me, hehehe, it was nice, but later I didn’t knew that MATCH will became my inspirational history to stand for AIESEC. (I’ll tell this history in other blog post)

What about my personal goal? … Well by now I Realize 10 SNs and 1 TN from CLAQ and 2 SNs from CLUC, so it means 13 eXchanges in my AIESEC career by now. That is my record. I thing is the Record in AIESEC PERU, I’m not pretty sure, but I’m still happy becouse my personal goal was achieved. OGX Rulez! hehehe
