Joining the Diplomatic Corps

Hey folks!

Yet another time, I have to apologize for cruelly neglecting this blog for...way too long. I actually kicked the habit of looking for excuses a while ago, but still: The reason I don't update this blog as frequently as I'd like to is that right now, I am really busy with my studies and work.

You might think: "What do you mean studies and work? Isn't being an Ambassador a full time job?" (Well, if you actually read only a line of this blog before, you most certainly would not think that. However, let's just keep the phrase as a nice leading-in) Anyhow: No, it is not! It's actually quite funny if you think about how diverse the Young Ambassadors' backgrounds are. So before getting back to a fascinating text about labor law, here is a non-comprehensive list of what the YAs are up to when they are not promoting the YOG:

  • Studying, majoring in architecture, sports diplomacy, international relations, engineering, sport sciences, business, design, medicine and communication
  • Working for sports governing bodies, such as National Olympic Committees and sport federations
  • Running a sports marketing firm and an event management company
  • Going for their pilot license
  • Working as a design consultant
  • Teaching foreign languages at high school
  • Working with kids and teenagers as sports instructors and educators
That is only an ad-hoc list of all the amazing things the Young Ambassadors are doing. And guess what: It only comprises the stuff they do for a living, so all the voluntary work, side projects and just-for-fun activities are not even included in here!

Still, I promise (once again) that in the future I'll try to take some more time to update this blog. However, I hope that now you understand why sometimes things take a little while. So if anybody wants to leave some nice words of encouragement (Ranging from "Hang in there, champ!" to "Stop complaining and get up you lazy bas****!"), feel free to ;)
