I sat in the back of the taxi on my way to the hotel to start another day of internships. I pulled out my newspaper and started to reading. When I was done I looked down at myself and smiled. Damn I’m looking sharp in this suit. Not in a self centered way though. Then I realized that I’ve been becoming the person I’ve always hated. Someone that goes to work with the same routine everyday, wakes up, goes to work at the same time every day, and go home. I know almost every job in the world has a routine. I don’t want that though. It’s what I’ve feared of becoming into my whole childhood and all of a sudden I’ve forgotten about that. Might it have been the love I have for this job? Is it possible to change this?
Then I started to think about how my dreams changed and realized my dream has been to study hospitality and TOURISM, not hospitality management. Sure hospitality management is great I love it, it’s not what I want to follow though.
I remember on Tuesday walking into Corey’s room, he asked me a few questions about my internship, the last one being “Do you think its something you would want to pursue?” I didn’t even think about it. “Absolutely, yes” I responded. So a few days ago I say yes and now I say no?
I’ve had it all wrong, my passion is adventure sports and I’ve found a ways to incorporate that into a career with hospitality and tourism by making my adventure and tourism agency.
The change from having an agency to hotel management happened, when I started to look at hospitality and tourism more in depth, I got curious and hotel management fit my personality. I got even more curious about the topic but I forgot about what I really care about. Adventure.
That’s why after internships I will do everything I can to learn about adventure and travel agencies.
Next week I depart of oxapampa, were I will be living in the house of the owner of a adventure agency. I will learn everything I can from him and stop thinking and begin to accomplish my dreams because I’ve spent too much time being a child and nothing on maturing and working for what I want. It’s never to late or early for anything. That’s why at 17 I will start my agency. Why didn’t I say 16 because I don’t know anything about it? It’s nice to learn from failure but its stupid to fail with no knowledge. I will spend this year learning about the career and making small prototypes. In the infographic below you can see how many years there people studied before being successful some a year and other 20 years.
