Not so long time ago, somewhere last month I’ve had some quality time with two of my best friends, members of the RZR[1] group :D. I’m rarely going to the village museum. I’ve seen it all so many times, so I find it uninteresting. Perhaps I’m just missing the right crowd :).
Robert made his way to Sibiu for Roxi’s birthday and after a good night (and a good part of the day) we managed to get there.
It was also the first time in years since I’ve last used the city’s public transportation services. I don’t have really a need for it as it only takes me 45 minutes from one end of the city to the other and I prefer to walk, just me, my thoughts and my iPod :D.

Hey guys,
Long time no see. I know, I should write more. I just need to be in a writing mood … that’s all.
There have been some developments lately, which made me spend more time with people from AIESEC. I think I will involve to some extent as long as I still know the people.
I’ve been to 3 conferences just in the last month … well perhaps just one real conference, “Leaders of Tomorrow” in Bucharest, the other 2 were the AIESEC Sibiu and AIESEC Constanta takeovers. Ah … and I forgot to mention the Paintball game.

This post may or may not make any sense to you. I just hope it does.
Why heroes? Well because heroes are the people we look up to when we’re young, because every one of us as a child wanted to be somebody’s hero. And because now, as I’m passing the threshold to adult life, my perspective changed a bit and I’m looking up to a different kind of hero.
My hero is good and noble, he stands up for what he believes in, makes right and wrong choices, and is true to his heart. My hero is not afraid to look within himself, find out what drives him and where he wants to reach, to discover what happiness means for him and what he mark he wants to leave behind. My hero is tuned to the people around him, to their happiness or sadness, to their failures or accomplishments, and he helps out without expecting anything back. My hero is younger than me, and is growing within the new generation. My hero is ordinary … my hero is you.

It’s been 6 months now since Cristi died. I’m looking back, remembering all that’s been going on in the last six months. Life’s been moving on, new friends, new experiences, future becoming past… Some people tough, left deep marks in our hearts making it impossible to forget them. Cristi was one of them.
While we were hanging out sometime last month, Bebe talked about doing something to honor Cristi’s memory, an award for a special AIESEC Sibiu member, an idea that came to life a few days ago. Through this award we wanted to keep his memory alive and also help an AIESEC Sibiu member to make its first steps towards his development, to grow … To do for this member what Cristi has done for two generations.
He reached out again this, trough this award, to a new member. This year it happened to be Ovidiu, a very promising young man, with high hopes and nice dreams.

Every year I keep telling myself “this is my last LTS”. I decided to drop this phrase, every year the same thing happens: I find myself on the LTS facilitators list. LTS was my first real AIESEC Conference where I had the most fun, where I discovered my first role-models, where I made my first friends, the place where I fell in love with AIESEC :).
If I look back I have so many memories, so many flash-backs from the last five years. I’ve seen five generation of people coming and going, many of them looking so scared and disoriented at first, growing, learning fast, becoming confident and bold and doing some of the most craziest and amazing things.
This LTS was special … well like every LTS is. For me, it felt good to work with old friends from Cluj-Napoca and Targu Mures, to watch the newies glow :), to actually mingle with some very bright people. I don’t know about you, but I find it most rewarding seeing people grow, having these “a-ha moments”, literally changing before your eyes. One of the sugar cubes I got was saying “I’m impressed with the intensity that you love people around you”. I can’t help it. Its a feeling I got at this conference, like being swamped with these emotions, these feelings. How can one not be touched by it?
In not so many words, I loved this LTS, it supercharged me with energy and positive feelings. This is what’s addicting about AIESEC :). This is why I’ll keep coming back. This is why I still go to the LC Meetings.
Message for the newies:
AIESEC has given me wings and learned me how to fly, maybe in one morning some of you will watch yourself in the mirror and see a shining pair of shiny white wings, maybe you’ll learn someday how to spread these wings and fly. It’s the most amazing feeling you’ll ever get. Don’t be afraid of what lies inside you, embrace the unknown and uncertain, be confident in your own powers, rediscover yourself and realize there are no limits of what you can do … and you’ll certainly get those wings.
