Studying and thinking

Yes, life in the UK got normal for me - baked beans, student flat, dance classes and of course: studying.

It is my experience as a student that stimulates me most. Due to the chosen courses, I read a lot about about topics that are simply sad: An example are the structural constraints to children in the crack shanty towns of New York. According to Philippe Bourgeois, most of them turn into drug dealers/rape victims/violent individuals/adoscelent paternts despite them having "normal childhood dreams like becoming a doctor or a policeman. Although I believe in the power of the individual to shape her own life, the conditions make this very hard for the adolescents mentioned above.
This is only one of the shocking topics I am currently reading about. I have gained leadership characteristics through being in AIESEC, have grown up in priviledged conditions in the best country in the world, have a university education, a good social environment and much more.

I really really hope that I can turn all of these great starting conditions into action, that I find a career where I can put myself fully in and make a difference!

When I left AIESEC, I believed becoming a Social Entrepreneur might be the right choice (as business is one of the most powerful agents), but maybe I should consider working for a government? Or still for an NGO? And what is the field I can bring in most of my competencies?
