Another Chance
If I had another chance tonightTwo life changing things happened to me in the last couple of days. The first, I was selected to an internship in Singapore for UBS, that was big... the second, Kristi the first member of my team to leave. It felt like a big part of our team was ripped away.
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
I was reminded of a music video of a song by Robert Sanchez on the way home this morning. It starts off with a girl walking down the street of a big city carrying a big heart and as she walked along she encountered many different challenges because of her heart. When other people treated her without care or consideration, her heart grew smaller...and by the end her heart had dimished into almost nothing of the size it used to be.
I realised that I felt a lot like that by the middle of 2006. But while working in my team, I felt my heart begin to heal again, especially in the last six months. As I saw kindness and experienced appreciation, beauty and love again I felt my heart grow and come out of its pocket. Kristi, Simone and Nikita, Liam, Sharon and Alan, all the people in AIESEC in New Zealand, our Board, and my friends around the world (especially the MCPs) contributed to this. It was their support and care that showed me there is still a lot of heart in this world.
So as I sit here typing away, crying happy-sad tears on my last day in the MC flat...I really want to say thank you to all of them. I have gained a lot of new friends and a lot of new insight into life this year. I know that I don't know everything but that the most important thing is to appreciate the people around you who teach you about what life really is and what it can potentially become.

Amy,
I started crying when reading this, knowing that after Kristi you will be the next one to leave..
Thank you Amy for supporting all three of us in our development this year and being the firm captain of our boot in those tough times..
I will miss you terribly when you are gone; but I will not be sad knowing that we will bump into each other somewhere in the world!!
