The Right Place for Me?
To start off, I am Tamer Zikry, an AIESECer since 2001 and actively involved till this last summer when I ended my term as Director of AIESEC International for the Middle East and North Africa.
Currently, as it might be obvious I am studying at the Instituto de Empresa (IE). I am currently on the second month of the Masters of Management of Telecom and Digital Business programme.
After getting admitted into IE, I had so many different questions racing through my mind. Will I be able to manage living in Spain without speaking Spanish? Will I feel challenged enough by the programme? Will I be able to find the things that I enjoyed most about my last 7 years in AIESEC? Diversity? Access to knowledge about world issues? Opportunities for interesting and thought-provoking discussions? Will I be able to use what I have been learning in the last 7 years in enhancing my learning experience in the 13 months to come? Will the experience be as practical and enjoyable?
It has been six weeks since I started classes at IE but more than eight weeks since I arrived in Spain...Not all of my questions have been fully answered yet nor were my initial thoughts aligned to what I expected, most of the time in a positive sense...
Through this blog, I will take the opportunity to share with the many AIESECers out there my own experience of IE to help you make your own decision on whether IE is the right place for you...
A little hint...now, I am sure it is the right place for me...
Hasta Luego!
