Von Maria wurde ich auf ihrem Blog widerstandistzweckmaessig nominiert, an der Aktion #iamhuman von finding sustainia teilzunehmen. Ziel des Projektes ist es aufzuzeigen, wie individuell und vielseitig die Menschen sind und ein Bewusstsein für die unterschiedlichsten Lebensentwürfe zu schaffen.

Ich habe mich bemüht, den Text in Englisch zu verfassen, um der Internationlität, die dieses Projekt anstrebt gerecht zu werden. Allerdings ist mein Englisch seit der Uni etwas eingerostet, entschuldigt also bitte Tipp- und Grammatikfehler. Ihr dürft mich aber gerne darauf hinweisen ;-)

I was choosen by Maria from widerstandistzweckmaessig to participate in the project #iamhuman, born by finding sustania.



My Name is Daniela. I am human. 

This sentence followed me for a longer time than beeing nominated for this project. Since I left graduation at university I am struggling to find my place (others would say a job) in the world.

I did not all the recommended things like going on an Erasmus term, I also didn't learn another language than English and I also didn't study super fast. I had my family and friends here I didn't want to leave and I struggled for various reasons with my chosen subject, economics.

At the same time I made little steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle and also changed my subject into ecology oriented economics. Or so I thought, because the things we learned were good for the economy (logically), but not necessarily a really long-lasting alternative to the current system. I was so naive when I began my education at university and so frustrated when I left. I had the feeling that all the things I have learned had brought me nowhere. I am a family person, not a career person - something I accepted a little bit to late.

I made my first work experience while I was still studying at an office for human ressources. The things I saw in this two months left me confused, insecure and even a bit desperate. This is the way we threat people nowadays? Judging people by reading their CV? Maybe I had just bad luck and found myself in the worst HR office in the whole city, but these were all normal people working there. And they thought bad of people who made „useless“ extra examinations like a pilot's licence or worked in their parental agriculture for some time. Because I was working for an engineering company they also had little use for creative or commercially educated people. The feeling of beeing stamp „useless“ to our economy left a mark on me.

So since this experience my greatest wish is that in a near future we are all able to work in jobs which we like, enjoy and in which we can see a purpose. And that we see each other as humans again with all our individual strenghts and weaknesses.

This was my story.

What is yours?
