So this is the reason why I came here, this is my summer job and my cooperative education. American College of Management and Tehnology is my college and I just found it appropriate to do my co-op here. Although most of my freshman friends find it crazy to go abroad after freshman year I just couldn't wait to go to America. Even while I was little child I always dreamed of Big Apple, Miami beaches and glam of Hollywood. Maybe looks like a childish dream but it didn't disappear even 10 years later and I felt such happiness when I got a chance to make my dream come true with barely 19 years old. I was always that kind of girl walking above the ground and though how everything is possible. And let me tell you, I still do. Everything is in your mind, how hard you try and how patient you are. Use your imagination to design a dream, but don't lose your touch with reality. Think that is the receipe of the hapiness. Always wish what you thing is possible to achieve. That way, you will never be dissapointed. That is how I do and I find it my greatest attribute. No matter what my mother just to say that I got everything I ever wanted, I always say it is because I always wish things I can get. Even when I thing there is pretty small chance to accomplish things on my mind I try hard till I don't see there is no any other option. So, here I am...making my dream! Today is my second week at work and I work at the front desk (operator) at Resort at Squaw Creek which is a four star hotel in Olympic Valley. Last week I had a training but now I am fine and just doing my thing. My job is basically answering the phone calls and transvering them to different departments of a hotel. I do check-ins in computers, wake up calls and providing informations about hotel amenities. This morning I had my first professional meeting with menager of front desk(btw nobody can't stand him) and I was so excited. It was like in those american "Crime Scene Investigation" movies when they all gather and discuss about case. But we discussed about room occupancy for next two days. At the end menager looked at me and asked me do I have anything to report, and I was like"no, I guess not"! What a shame, everybody looked at me and I was getting red. But soon everything was over and I could do my job. Sometimes this job gets really interesting when people call for some nonsense or scream at you. Just a few days ago one lady called almost crying that there are some bugs above her bed and asking for help. I almost started to laugh but the problem was that she had some kind of allergy so that is why she was so upset. There are also some difficult situations too, when guest calls for emergency. Just three days ago one of our guests had a heart attack and thanks God I wasn't at work because I would be terryfied. I almost forgot to notice my commendation card I got for typing manually guest check-ins in a computer. I got chocolate too and if I colect 5 of this cards I will get a free gift. I could get a day in spa. I would love that...
