I found some serious inspiration today when doing research on some of the top people working for UNESCO. This Bulgarian lady is my new role model and motivation - check out below to see why!Irina Bokova, born in 1952 in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria has been the Director-General of UNESCO since 2009. She is the first woman to have been elected head of the Organization. In this short interview she talks about some relevant UNESCO topics & drinks tea at the same time - these 2 are definately some of my absolute favorite activites :))
Keep reading to see why I look up to her!
Other than the fact that she has my dreamjob and is the first woman doing it, I have some other reasons for why I think she is exceptional. I keep finding similarities between us - or at least stuff I wish I had too! One of the things is that Bulgaria and my home, Hungary are very close to each other, especially when we look at them from my current residende, the USA. They are pretty much the same place. Also, she went to get her ungergrad degree at a different countrythan her own, just like I am doing right now. Three, we both studied International Relations. I hope that I am on the right track!
Later she went home and joined the Foreign affairs (I should consider doing this ) and got involved with the UN. It seems to me that she has been passionate about human rights all her life, which is absolutely necessary when one wants to work for the UN. She speaks several languages other than her own first one...our similarities list just goes on and on!!

I will do my best to learn from her and keep her in mind. Pinkie promise to myself. She is AMAZING!
