Ever since I knew I am to be a GSA (Google Student Ambassador) for my college next year, and I know that I'm gonna have a boring training week. I thought it'd would have been 5 , five-hour long days for a whole week. But what really happened is the complete opposite. I used to sleep like maximum 5 hours a day and those were practically the time I had to spend at home. Because I used to wake up 5:30 in the early morning, to eventually reach home at midnight, where I practically spent those hours in between in the training.
The training was a complete surprise, it was so ... Googley. The training was in the German University in Cairo (GUC), it was so like the Google atmosphere we used to hear about and see on YouTube. The place was so full with Google Colors, and Bean Bags, where we used to sleep on in the very morning when no not all have arrived. As it was 6:45 in the morning was the time when we had to take a bus to the GUC moving from the front door of Cairo University. Within the bus, I got to know the best of people, my first fellow Googlers. They were the people that I spent with the best of times on the way to the training or back, no matter how bad the road was.
Getting into the first day (The first dip), getting into Google with Mohamed Gawdat, Directing Manager of Emerging Markets, and finally, meeting Noha Salem, our magnificent handler, whom have gave us the most magnificent start to what was, the week of the lifetime. However, as fascinating the start was, it wasn't enough to deal with our sleepiness, so it was time for great Andira's ENERGIZER activities, which managed, as it is named, to extract all the hidden energy within us.
This is how we got to spend the other 4 days of our lives, for no words said can describe what we went through, and how magnificent people were. We ate together, planned together, dreamed together, learnt together, hung-out together and finally graduated together. It was a great experience, and the best of memories. I believe it will remain in memory for a very very long time.
I'm really honored to have met each and every one of them, where each is unique on his own way, whether if it was hardworking, spiritful, social, creativity, .... and much more. I really hope we all meet again soon.
