I am writing to you from a very sentimental state of mind. Today I have finally passed the ESN (Erasmus Student Network) Bergen "torch" on to new people, hopefully good people, who will carry the good work and GREAT NAME of ESN on. ESN has been a lot for me, a lot of work, fun, great meetings, experiences, parties AND amazing people and so much more. I even met my amazing boyfriend through ESN, so it has really been great for me and it was a blessing in my life. In many ways it's been stressful but it was all worth it because of everything I learned and because of all the people I met.
Passing this "torch", as I call it, on, was not easy, first because it is so hard to find people who want to work as volunteers and because it has ment so much for me and it was really hard letting go. I started in ESN Bergen just after my exchange. Full of will to help make other peoples exchange experiences as great as mine. Motivation and ambition were at the top of the world, I felt I could and would do anything. And with amazing people working with me, we put Bergen on the MAP as one great student city, for everyone to know.
I am very thankful for my ESN time, for the people working with me in ESN Bergen through all the years (2006-2008), thankful for all the other ESN sections in Europe and all the exchange students I got to meet. It was a blast, I will always remember it as a great time of my life. Thank you all, and hopefully we'll meet again;)
I wish you all the best, and I'll be back in ESN again:) You haven't seen the last of me;) heheh, but for now it is "bye bye, ESN"!! :)
Till later alligator :)
