On a day like this...
Friday. Any Friday can be...Nothing special.
Yesterday I was thinking a lot about my term as MCP. About my successor. Does he listen to me, when I am trying to convey my message...Does he think I can give him something...Maybe not. It hurt me, cause I felt a bit useless. I have the knowledge and experience. Yet I am not the winner, the role-model MCP that I should be. Maybe I made more mistakes than I was allowed to make. Maybe my good intentions were just left good intentions...
Yet I love my choice to become MCP. I believe it was necessary. I believe that I have made a difference - a very small one maybe. And the difference was that I was honest to people. I cut off politics. When I made a mistake I had the guts to stand and admit it.
It is not a big deal.
Today I spoke with one of the MC elect girls - Cveti. She is so smart:) Started elaborating on the topic of "why we do not succeed as aiesec country"...such interesting thoughts. It is so sad that we hardly ever have time to sit and just "talk" about different aspects of our life and society. We can gain a lot from this and this is some of the most enjoyable and enriching experiences.
Anyways...I sincerely hope that the new MC team will be able to take at least a little bit from us. I sometimes feel like a mother, preaching to her children...And they do not listen...I know now how a mother feels :)

Handover is the hardest thing to do, to be humble enough to let them continue the development with out trying to impose your ideas and experience in the wrong way.
At this point i have to reflect on how i felt when i was taking over from my LCP, i saw all the bad things that had happened and all the things that hadn't been done!!! But this is good, it gives the next team frustration and makes them that much more determined to drive results the next year forward. The realisation will only come to them at the end of thier terms when they can see it from your eyes and understand why everything cannot be changed in one year! You need to stay proud of the things that have been achieved the opportunites you have enabled for so many young people in Bulgaria. AIESEC is an exceptional organisation, but is a platform for development! If AIESEC worked then we would never learn anything and what would the point in that be!! Be proud ofthe future generations coming through Bulgaria i saw amazng people at BLDS who will drive AIESEC Bulgaria forward... if everything was perfect what would drive them?? What would make them so determined to make AIESEC Bulgaria a success???
