How is it like to be continuously active and have so much to do at once?
Fethi: Okay, so how is it like to be continuously active and have so much to do at once. It all started back in 2017. I was let’s say; in not a very positive environment , and I was coming out of like a really long year where I had a lot of pressure , a lot of stress and that was one of the worst years of my life because of that stress, and especially exams , evaluations , and so on. That summer I wanted to do something outside of the box. I wanted to do something that I have never tried. Therefore, for me, back then, this was to learn a new language. I was super interested and excited about learning Spanish. One of my friends that I am forever grateful for sent me a link to join this summer school where they are going to teach Spanish, and I applied, I got accepted, and then boom my life changed.
Back then, I was like a simple student, when I joined that summer school I found people managing that project, they were people like me, coming from the same background, some of them at the same field of studies as me, and they were organizing this amazing project. That summer for me was the best summer of my whole life. Therefore, I started wondering how they can do that while I was complaining about having a very bad year! Why do they do that? Why don’t they just stick to their studies! I could figure out that I do not want to be as I was anymore! I wanted to become like them. So, from that year, from the end of 2017, I applied for AIESEC, I applied for American Corner, and from there it just started, and more doors were open for me.
After not finding the opportunities in my society, or not finding those opportunities because of the lack of promotion for it. Now I am able to create such opportunities for the Algerian youth, and future leaders, if not create them, then at least promote for them. This makes me an element of the change that I always wanted to see.
