mmm....1st post what to say....ok ....i wanna share some headlines when i associate my last 3.5 years in AIESEC with the memories and best moments that will live on with me forever...they're a trillion or so but these are the ones that stand out from among a short listed 100!

AIESEC gave me…a vision for myself! I finally know what I wanna do with my life and in the words of a song I heard back at IC 2006… WORLD, HOLD ON!

AIESEC gave me…Two life long mentors and friends - Adham Abdel Salam (MENA ER Manager) and Ahmed Badawy (Founder of AIESEC AAST Cairo).

AIESEC gave me…You Can 05, India conference experience – I won through it a sister Elizabeth Ayala acting MCP AIESEC Guatemala and a network of 10+ life long friends we call ourselves the YOU CAN 2005 survivors!

AIESEC gave me…a magical night out at Zakopane – during Study Tour IC Poland 2006 Best day of my LIFE! – the music of the cultures, the atmosphere and the utmost happiness felt by everyone within the room was enough to blow the roof tops off. It was irreplaceable!

AIESEC gave me…an amazing OGX team 05-06! and life-impacted SNs the year before!

AIESEC gave me… in my VP term 04-05 6 SNs realizations, and in my VP term 05-06 ZERO realizations i.e. a life long lesson!

AIESEC gave me…the AASTC family of 2003-2006 that I owe a great deal to who I’ve become during those years towards for their inspiration and support.

by the end of this term I would like to say…
AIESEC gave me…an AIESEC Egypt family…all the way from my MC teammates, to a 6 month newie!

And by the end of my days in AIESEC I would like to end it with a lot more AIESEC gave me…

and as an old hag I would then say the cheesy line – to most – of “ I gave back to AIESEC, myself and my community…1,2,3,4, etc)

Super excited to have an MC blog!

A Word : I am Ahmed Hassan ( Ash ) a normal person leading a normal life or at least was until I joined AIESEC. AIESEC really turned my life upside down and changed my goals forever. From my first LC meeting I knew my life and future would never be the same. I only wish that if I have added anything to AIESEC it would benfit the organization and members. As for my dream in AIESEC it's to become MCP of AIESEC Egypt as I believe that would be satisfactory enough for me. At the end of my intro. I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me in AIESEC.

Our Motto INTRODUCED...

Happy New Year World! With the birth of a new year we'd like to launch the birth of the AIESEC Egypt MC blog.

.

A platform where all of AIESEC Egypt's generation of MC teams will be able to share their personal stories, inspirations, feelings, goof -offs, questions to the world, etc ...Where you get to know the people behind the title and their mottos for their terms and future AIESEC paths...

not only that but you can reply to our posts and interact informally with us not through AIESEC.net :P

.

Yet to start off the 1st post on our blog it would be shameful if we skip the intro of who we are ...

In the next couple of days the MC will slowly introduce itself one-by-one our 7 member team (5 MCEB and 2 NST!!!!).

.

Yet now we'll introduce ourselves as a team...MC of AIESEC Egypt 06-07 is here to BREAK THE STEREOTYPE...

.

But do you have any idea what that means?

.

According to Encarta a STEREOTYPE is...

A preformed and unsubstantiated judgment or opinion about an individual or a group, either favorable or unfavorable in nature. In modern usage, however, the term most often denotes an unfavorable or hostile attitude toward other people based on their membership in another social or ethnic group.

.

So when we say we want to break the stereotype, the MC refers to the stereotypes towards everything negative shot at us by global, local or individual entities... whether its towards Egypt as a country, towards us as an MC entity, towards us as AIESECers, etc

.

We strive each day to break those stereotypes ((and break the records :P)) and with any failures we face towards holding true to our motto, we get up and fight back until it breaks.

.

...WE'RE ONLY HERE FOR 6 MORE MONTHS...SO EVERY LC, AND EVERY MEMBER WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN TOGETHER IN THE MC MOTTO AND HELP YOUR LC BREAK THE STEREOTYPE ANY ENTITIES HAVE TOWARDS YOUR LC's, members, outgoing trainees, servicing and intern expereinces, LC results, member quality and growth, image to the corporate sector and alumni, etc

.

6 months left for the end of our term.

6 months left for a new LEADRSHIP team... with a new motto.

6 months left to BREAK THE STEREOTYPE.

Good luck AIESEC EGYPT.
