If there is a beginning there is also an ending

Posted on by Arus Sukiasyan

It was five in the morning when I arrived after 6 months. I was feeling that I am at home, I was feeling that all the memories that I have left would come back again.  

My youth centre was my motivation; people that were coming to our events were giving me the desire to work and to do more and more. The secret of our (Aradului) work was teamwork. There is no place like home – we had a pillow with this text that was always in the living room and I was always reading that when I was passing by the living room – but trusting my philosophy

HOME IS WHERE YOU FEEL LIKE.  

Every morning I was taking my short walk and with every step I was thinking about the past days and the future plans. For me, it was mandatory to say Bună! to the doorman and to have an English/Romanian conversation. If you would ask me how I was explaining the things I also don’t know but the most important part is that we understood each other.

This year will always stay with me. It was something that had both extremely good and extremely bad days, but as I am always saying, we should realize the positive side of the coin. Every day of my life in Timisoara I got something new, something beautiful and meaningful. 

I am taking with me for my life this whole year and this amazing experience that gave me things that I will be grateful for in my future.

Moments of a year full of happiness and challenges

I feel like it was yesterday when this story has started. When I look back, even just for a second, I remember so clearly my arrival: I was entering a room which wasn’t giving me any warmness at all. But right now, when it’s time for me to leave, the same room is giving me so much warmness and it became so close to my heart, that it is so hard for me to leave it behind.  

Even if it all seems like a glance, this year was one full of experiences: there was time for finding and for losing, time for new challenges and opportunities. It was a perfect opportunity to throw away all the bad habits and focus on what we really like and what is giving us development. 

I am so glad that I had the chance to work with the FITT organization for a year because the new knowledge we got also depended on the support of the organization.  

I learned a lot both from a professional and personal way of perspective. I am so thankful because right now I know much better how to understand and appreciate the value of everything: the job that I am doing, the time that I have, the opportunities that I receive, and the people that are surrounding us. 

I hope I will have the opportunity to share with you another experience story of mine, but until that, just enjoy and get motivated from this story.
