My name is Marian and I am a flight attendant.

Providing the passengers

what they need and making sure they are comfortable are my main duties.
My job is exciting; I visit many countries every year and never know where
I’ll be in the next week. Of course it’s also tiring, and I can’t spend the
weekends or holidays with my family but it’s worth it.
I wanted to be a flight attendant since I was a little girl, so I did
everything I was advised to, in order to get the job I always wanted. I
think it’s very important to prepare yourself to do what you dream on, and
if you are really concerned on learning and you take it seriously, you will
probably get what you want.
