In the summer of 2004 I was entering 7th grade. I went on a family vacation to Alaska on Princess Cruise Lines. There were so many events on the cruise, that i was never bored. My brother and I went to the organized children's activities while my parents went to cocktail parties. There were also musical shows and entertainment acts all over the ship. I had such an amazing time on that cruise that I decided I wanted to be an event planner for a cruise line in the future.
My goal is to be employed by a major cruise line by January of 2016. In order to reach my goal, I have prepared a set of steps.
1) Volunteer to help plan events for Bringing Up Down Syndrome (BUDS) and the Anna Foundation For Inclusive Education (AFFIE). A family friend organizes events for these two foundations in New Jersey.
2) Apply for an internship or entry-level position at a cruise line for event planning
3) Gain experience by planning events for large groups on the cruise line.
4) Be promoted to Event Manager.
