As time changes life changes.
I was looking back on my previous blog posts and scrolled to
my very first one, which was the one I introduced myself on and what I was
currently doing and what I had planned for my future looking back I’ve noticed
so much things have changed so much things I said I would be doing that I never
did and some that has stayed the same over the years..
In this post I’ll be updating you on what I thought I would
be doing versus what I’m actually doing just to give you some perspective of
how life changes without you even realizing it yet it makes no difference to
path you take to where you’d like to be in life .
In my first post I mentioned that I was going to further my
studies at CPUT the next year after I finished my international Event Management
diploma at prestige academy which never happened , I was planning to take a gap
year as you would see in one of the blog posts I wrote a while after that and
travel for three months backpacking, that also never happened. With all that
being said it was for good reason, I wanted to get on my feet in the Event
Industry and I thought travelling would just delay my process of doing just
that.
So I actually started working for a sistering company to the
company I did my internship at (Dish food & Social) called Black Zebra
events at the beginning of this year , I stayed there for two months and then I
started to work for my dad for a while, but I realized that working in the
accounts section of my business was not my passion , I although did gain a lot of
respect for having this job as it’s not
as easy as one seems . I decided to do a year’s work at the company I did my
internship at to get a year of experience on my C.V in the event I in the
future I am looking for a job at another company also in the event I didn’t
start my own company and needed some sort of experience behind my name.
Starting my own company is one thing that has remained
constant in all of this, I still strive to be successful in the industry I have
a deep felt passion for as I know this is what I would enjoy, I don’t want to
start to late even though I am 21 years of age I have a drive of wanting to be
where I’m comfortable at a young age knowing it’s all because of the hard work
and effort I put in to see my future company grow and expand..
The other thing I mentioned was I would stay in a flat in
Cape Town if I studied further at CPUT, I
am staying in a flat but not because of studies but to be closer to work and
not have to worry about traffic. I will however be moving back home next year
as I will be renting space from my dad to start up my company which is again
closer to Kuils River and our family home.
People often say that you never really end up where you
think you are going to end up, but I don’t take that to heart I’ve had this
dream since I matriculated and I can say I honestly took the road less travelled
in studying what I have studied because people do not know what the event
industry has to offer and how wide the job field with this qualification
actually are. Not having everyone’s full support I passed my three years of
studying with not a single rewrite only because it was my passion and I strived
to achieve in those three years.
I also grew while studying, nobody saw me the way I was
before yes I enjoyed school every bit of it, I excelled quietly, so quietly I
never expected my parents to come to prize giving’s because I believed I would
never get one ,grade 10 they didn’t come and that was the year I came home with
two awards… hahhahaah (I underestimate myself all the time.) but I never
excelled beyond my expectations as I did at Prestige academy .
Becoming class
rep for two years in a row and operations head of events the last two years of
my studies wasn’t something I thought would happen when I walked into the door
of the institution I thought I would always be a follower but that changed.
I might sound like I am boasting but I’m proud to say I’ve
chosen an industry according to what I knew I would achieve in ,and I can say
this industry as crazy as it might be was everything I dreamt it would be if
not even more.
