My life story with AIESEC

How did AIESEC help me overcome my disability...

     I had always been looking for the purpose of life. Then, I understood that to live is actually to make an impact on the world, by leaving an achievement that could mark humanity.  In order to fulfill this purpose, I decided to join the associative life which, to my mind, would help me overcome my handicap. I know that it is not that big of a deal, but, i was highly aware of my disability. It has been so hard, yet very self-challenging ...  So, i needed to be busy, to focus on certain goals and to be a productive person.

I enrolled in ESSECT, where I first heard about AIESEC: the biggest youth international organization worldwide, whose main activity is to provide professional exchange opportunities. Besides, it develops the leadership role and teaches its members to make a positive impact on society. For that, I have joined AIESEC, and I have fallen in love with it. Through seminars made by the organization, I realized that I belong to a huge network, not only a national one but also, an international one. 

There are high local committees in Tunisia: in Tunis, Nabeul, Sousse and in Sfax . Since AIESEC is active in more than 110 countries, we get the opportunity to meet and mingle with people from all walks of life, with various nationalities and different races. We also get to be familiar with their traditions and their ways of thinking. We live diversity as we represent our countries.

We, in AIESEC, run also various projects. Our chief project in Tunisia is the Career Days in which we help students with the process of obtaining internships, usually offered by the participating companies. Then , we have the sustainability projects which, allow us to practice making a positive impact on society … the activities of AIESEC enlighten the path to professional and personal development. We learn how to run projects, how to negotiate with others, especially with companies, how to acquire communication skills and be dedicated to innovation. It also teaches us how to care about the humankind…

In brief, AIESEC prepares us to be leaders…; that’s what it does!

Last year, I wasn’t able be an active member because I went through a new treatment to help me with my sickness. Unfortunately, it wasn’t efficient.. 

That led me to conclude that maybe one shouldn’t try to fix what has already been broken, but rather, tries to focus on his talent and his assets ! One needs to move on...  I also realized that I have missed AIESEC; it’s been like a cure to me.

My career within AIESEC is still in its early beginnings. I am so excited to go aboard for an internship and to stamp my mark on AIESEC. 


I am proud to be an AIESECer :)
