Hey! Long time no talk.
I just want to take a moment to thank you Mr. Groot. You've really changed my life I must say. My financial blueprint just keeps going up!
My goals are being set and accomplished. My life is slowly changing for the better, but like you said, "it can't happen overnight;" or maybe I heard that on the Magic School Bus - lol.
I am currently working as a Publishing Consultants assistant, but I really wanted to do what I love - snowboarding. So I said the heck with this I am going snowboarding.
I went up to Kelowna to a Big White Ski Resort Job Fair on the weekend hoping to get a job as a dish washer or janitor or something so I could ski and have fun. But when I got up there, my mind changed and I wasn't going to do anything that was menial. While I was waiting I overheard some of the Big White Managers talking. Not many people had shown up for the Slope Watch position; which is basically patrolling around making sure everybody was safe, and being a true host of the mountain.
So as persistent as I am, I walked up to the two of them and stuck out my hand and introduced myself. I explained to them that I have ten years of expereince in snowboarding and being a people person is the reason I'm there, and offered a moment of my time for them to interview me. And YES, I got the job right there on the spot.
To heck with being a dish washer. "Taryn Zotzman, Slope Watch." Sounds good to me.
and yea, that's my story, long, but as sweet as I could put it. I leave in a weeks time so I will be stopping by to shake the mans hand that helped me to do what I've wanted to do my whole life. Live.
Regards and thankful wishes;
Taryn Zotzman
