Amazing how time flies. I'm already done with my 3rd term of school and that means one more term and I will be done and graduating (hopefully!) This term was supposed to be easier in terms of classes and workload but I somehow managed to load up on so much work that I eventually had to drop a class.
This term my school offered French classes which I decided to take. In addition, I was the Events Manager (VP of Events) for my school's Net Impact Club. As a fairly new club, it meant a lot work for the leadership staff. For me it meant an extra challenge as I had no knowledge or prior experience in the field of CSR and sustainability. In a little over 3 months, our team managed to propel the club into one of the most active and most well known clubs at ESADE. We have built and are still building a good range of contacts and relationships with professors who are expert in this field. Although it took a lot of my time, it was a very good learning and networking experience for me and also a very enjoyable one.
As many of you know, I went back to school to get my MBA because I wanted to switch functions and go into the field of CSR and sustainability. I had no experience or any knowledge so I had to fully rely on classes and on any opportunity that would allow me to learn and get some experience in this area. The Net Impact Club was one and them and then another opportunity came along. One of my professors is currently working on a book on CSR and needed some help with research. I jumped on the opportunity and that meant a more loaded schedule.
Overall, this term has been good. Jeremy was able to find some work teaching English. He also has learned how to cook eatable food (amazing, I know!) In addition, he's learning Spanish at my school and working on his school applications.
