Our third meeting was just over, and I'm frankly glad it did because it was the longest ever.. or so I felt. I had a four-page agenda for tonight's meeting, four pages of just bullet points to elaborate later on. I just feel that the race has started two weeks ago already, and now we are at this position in the running track where you either push yourself forward regardless to the incredible pain tearing every single muscle in your body apart, or you just start backing off slowly until sweat, witness of effort, is merged with tears of incapability.
And I am not the type of person who backs out or cries at the end of a race, unless they are tears of joy (although I OBVIOUSLY never run on the first place!). Neither is my team the type that would give up on all the effort we have been making throughout the past couple of weeks.
With the still unsolved problem of classrooms, though, I could not help feeling tense at some point. Just realizing that I have an endless list of other things to do and other events to prepare for but I can't step forward at this point is as frustrating as it is surprisingly even more motivating. And if you ask me how that could ever make sense, I would say "because it just does." I have never before understood why AIESECers actually wish "a term full of problems" to any elected leader, but now I definitely do.. and I do want to wish the same for my team members.
AIESECly,
Rahma Henchiri
