Now I am torn....
I never thought I would ever be able to go to IC.
I wanted so much to go but
It cost too much and there was too little time.
And now I've managed to get funding.
I feel like the opportunity is being taken away from me again.

IC is on the same weekend as the NZ future leaders(NZFL) residential: A specially designed course at Outward Bound in the Malborough Sounds

I know you will all ask, is there any question about it?
How can you compare IC in India to Outward Bound...
If it was anything, anything but this there would be no decision to make.
But it isn't. NZFL: an 18 month programme with only 6 residentials ever to bring everyone from across NZ together. Never again will I have this opportunity with 60 of the asipiring leaders of New Zealand. People who I am growing so close to, people who I admire, and the opportunity to push myself to boundaries I never knew I could go. How can I continue on the programme without having gone to this residential? How I will understand how much they've gone through and developed? Who will I be? What will my place be?

I think I'm going to go cry and go crazy for the next few days.
I don't want to make a decision.

    Yingy,
    Either way you will meet inspiring people who will come to change your life....on one hand you will be will people you already know but you admire greatly, on the other hand you will meet new people who will come to mean alot to you....

    Weigh the pros and cons of both.... international contacts vs awesome nz contacts etc etc

    I'm sure you'll make a good decesion, let me know what you decide ;)

    This has been one of the hardest decisions that I've ever had to make.

    I've wanted to go IC every since I joined AIESEC and letting go of this opportunity has been so hard.

    Thank you everyone (especially Adi and Yat) for your lovely advice.

    Fingers crossed that I will have the opportunity to attend another IC in the future. And come on none of this "what happens in IC stays in IC" - at least bring back some juicy IC networking back home.
