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.
