A step in the right direction

As I mentioned plenty of times before, my dream is to be a general manager in one of the big palaces in this world.

How was I to know, that a simple dinner, would be the first milestone of my career.

In my college, I was the vice-president of the Student Ambassador Forum (SAF, something like a student committee). Lucky me, I had the chance to present the SAF in front of the governing board of my school. 

This is when I met, what turned out to become my mentor and the person that would believe in me and push me to become something great.

Omer Acar is an alumni, but more than that he is the general manager of the Ritz in Paris. Probably one of the most famous palaces in the whole wide world. In twelve years, he went from graduating college, to managing this amazing hotel. An idol, for everyone that wants to make it in this business. And I had the chance to have dinner with him. 

Honestly, I was just a nervous wrack, but he is a great person that made me comfortable. He was totally down-to-earth and made me feel really good. Dinner was so fun, I can't describe it. I probably hadn't laughed that much in a long time. It went that far, that I actually totally forgot that this could be my future employer. We talked about parties and boy stories... stuff you really wouldn't want your boss to now. But oh surprise, me just being me convinced him, and here I am now, doing my internship at the front desk at the Ritz. 

My colleagues are awesome, my job experience is fantastic and meeting the big stars is just unblievably great. 

But more than working in this environment, this man helped me set foot in the business I am planning on succeed in. He believes in me, helps me find the right way and mentors me.

I have a great deal of respect for him and everything he has done for me. This internship is my first step in the right direction...
