WELCOME TO MY WORLD EXPEDITION
EXPERIENCE "YOUR BIG YEAR" JOURNEY
Life is a step that we need to follow with passion, we need
to hold it with care and work smart to reach our destiny and as long as we are
positive we will always make it. Welcome to my ‘Your Big Year’ Journey, the
world greatest expedition this is how it started.
Your Big Year was created my Chris Arnold the C.E.O of
smaller Earth and Camp leaders group of
companies and next big thing the World merit* check smaller Earth website. www.smallerearth.com , the competition
was started last year where 45,000 young and passionate individuals from different part of the world
registered for the competition and only
24 made it to the finals and two people were selected to become the Ambassadors
These were Carrielle Doe from New York
but Liberian and Michael Su Teoh from Malaysia.
One Young World summit in Zurich ,Switzerland
I met by then Your Big year Ambassador Michael Teoh.
I was invited for a dinner
by one of One Young World Ambassadors from Ethiopia at safari restaurant . Actually this was my first time to be in a
flight, you could imagine the excited that I had when I got to EK77 Emirates
plane anyway let’s get back to the track.
I got to sign up for your big year in October, one month after the competition
had started most people were much a head in terms of votes, I had to start
mobilizing friends through social media like facebook, to vote for me, I could not do via twitter
because I was new in twitter and had only five followers having around 1000
friends on face book was a nice start. check http://www.yourbigyear.com/pages/32-how-to-compete-
YOUR BIG YEAR COMPETITION STEPS.
The First step was to register your details as a competitor
on www.yourbigyear.com, you were then
required to load a picture of yourself and write one short paragraph about your
big year. You could then precede to the next answer the first set of questions
that were in a video form, you had to watch the videos because it’s only through
the videos that you could get answers. I think it was also just exciting to
watch the video and learn new stuffs.
The second set of questions were word questions but a
bit challenging, you had a link to follow for you to get the answers. But if
you were kin and following YBY Ambassadors Michael and Carriele, their blog was
rich and full of information. Actually it was also kind of a motivation factor
that could make you see the kind of prize you were signing up for. what this video
If you were "smart enough like i was" you could get all
question right, you were then given an
ID number, which was outstanding and you were to use this to tell other people
to vote for you, it was then your turn
to try and convince your friends and
enemies to support you by doing the same.
This was the most challenging part actually to convince
people to register for something they don’t know about? Some could register and
fail to answer the questions or get wrong in all the questions; I had to spend
time telling people how important I needed their votes for me, the most amazing
part was that if you wasted time you could easy find yourself ten steps below,
the competitors were great probably smart too.
As the voting counts we had to participate in other things
‘crazy’ photos; You had to take the coolest , hottest, lowest and highest
photo’s , and share the photos on our group facebook called ‘I am working on
winning your big year’ this was the most interesting part, you also got to know
people from different countries and get to enjoy diversity and reach culture.
Other competitors got a chance to get hold of some celebrities in their countries and had a shot with them, this was very cool.
