Hello Harsh,
I believe you're in pink of your health and mood. I know you have had a beautiful fun filled day with the picture that came on our EB Group.
The day has finally come, for me to pen it down, the day I had been thinking about since last 6 months, about how difficult it will be for me to write down. The day thinking of which gave me literal tears, about how heart wrecking it will be, and the day is finally here! The day is finally here for which I have waited my entire EB term to hear this song "
Choo Lo" because it is a song of separation, and throughout my EB term I always knew, the day i'd write my resignation, would be the day of separation.
I do not know how many know this or not, I took up the role of the Vice President of AIESEC in Indore, an Executive Board member for an entire year, only because there was something that lacked in my experience being a General Body member and being a member of Management Board. The thing that lacked in my experience of being in AIESEC for 15 months (right before I was chosen as the Vice President) was the essence of a team, with all glitters and gold, pretty and beautiful in which team mates CARED for each other and were passionate about there work. I never had this kind of a team before, I never saw such individuals with burning fire around, maybe there were, may be there were not, for me, I never had a team experience having individuals who were compassionately passionate about there work and equally at the same time respected and had gratitude towards their team and team members.
I decided to take up the role of an Executive Member for I wanted to give some individuals the kind of team experience I could never have. And so the year welcomed me with brilliant warmness. A year which I knew would challenge all my potentials and my values, and I was nothing but READY, for I chose to be here for a year, to give my year to this beautiful organization, to make some individuals have the kind of team experience I could never have before 2015.
And the winds blew, inactive membership, the storm came, my TLs resigned, Heavy rains, my existing TLs not ready to work in harmony, and I knew and realized, this year will take all of me. And I gave my all, with a vision, "the team" and with everything that I could I was working, living each day, taking experience and giving all the good from whatever I had.
Meanwhile, the year was passing, the clock was ticking, time was passing, seasons were changing, and each day I was questioning, "Is it what I'm doing that I stood up for?" And I realized I was being too selfish thinking only for my dream "The Team" there were things bigger to achieve than this.
Peace and fulfillment of Humankinds potentials.
For many a statement, for me, my reason of joining AIESEC. And then, came rains, with the most challenging time of my lifetime! Quarter 3 July-August-September! The period of time which made me who I'm today! The period of time which made me achieve my reason for taking up the position of an Executive Board member of AIESEC in Indore and as The Vice President Incoming Global Community Development Programme.
And my both teams were there The Vanguards and The Super Humans of Incoming Exchange and Leadership Development! Passing each and every stage of team development Forming, Norming, Storming, Performing beautifully!
I'm highly indebted to this organization, and this beautiful pretty little LC 😇 which gave me the opportunity to grow and make people lead! Words would not suffice my feelings, for somethings are just meant to be felt.
I've had days when I'd hit my head in the wall, I've had nights of sleeplessness when all I could think of was "where am I heading towards", I've had days when I did not stop jumping off my feet, I've had days of appreciation, I've had days when people would call me from other cities to congratulate me on my success, I've had days of "is it worth?", I've had days of the thought and belief that my team is nowhere stopping. I've had days of my members showing their trust and belief, I've had day of my LCP telling me of *how proud he is because of me", I've had day of Indore being known in the National Plenary only because my DREAM TEAM did not stop working and believing in both the Vice Presidents of the department in the most difficult storms and rains. I've had days of Performance, I've had days of failing miserably. I've had days when I was questioned by the MCVP with why is Indore not performing, I've had days with my MCVP being ignorant towards Indore because of it's poor performance, I've had days when the MCVP was praising Indore in front of everybody! Most importantly I've had days when I saw from failing and falling of my team to seeing it grow, rise, lead and perform. With the help of my Co Vice President, Suyash Rai, together, have created one beautiful team of developing enthusiasts who do not want to give up on their learnings, who are empathetic towards team members, who care about the society and with their actions are working towards it's development.
I've had everything that I have ever wanted in the year 2015, glory, magic, fire and spice! I've had it all, I couldn't have asked for anything more, and today, writing this e-mail is not at all painful, not at all dole sum. I'm contend, for I'm leaving a team behind, which is all glittery and gold and with it's magic will spark and shine bright and will give reasons enough to talk good about them!
Super hero is Flying and it's time to bid a goodbye!
AIESEC in Indore it was a pleasure!
Thankyou!
I, Ruchi Jain, Vice President Incoming Global Community Development Programme/ Incoming Global Citizen/ Global Citizen Organizations 2015 AIESEC in Indore resign from my position.
