MC APPLICATION PACKAGE AIESEC IN SEYCHELLES

18:19

Dear Applicant, I would like to congratulate you and thank you for taking this first step, I've been in the same position before, wondering if I should take it or not. I had my own fears and doubts about this experience, which ended being and is probably one of the most remarkable experiences I have ever had. But before you proceed I want you to answer this question for yourself-why do I want to be MC in Seychelles and how will this experience shape the rest of your life? Because this experience will challenge you like no other I can guarantee you that, I can also guarantee that the challenges you will face will be what will make you a better person and leader. This will bring you responsibilities because you will taking part in making decisions for a whole entity, but also because you will be responsible for the kind of impact you want to create in your experience and in the society. And also importantly being on the MC means opportunity. Opportunity to create things that would lead to bigger ones, opportunity to enable young people develop themselves, opportunity to create an impact in yourself and in Seychelles. Seychelles is a country that needs the leaders we develop either through our exchange or our membership, and after three years the only thing that matters now is viral growth, to unlock the potential of this promising entity, Seychelles needs leaders that are not afraid of their own potential and a willing to lead this entity to become a true AIESEC for Seychelles. Good luck and enjoy the process. Ogale Emmanuel MCP 18:19
