I remember back when I was in High school and even back in primary school, thinking to myself how do people decide who they want to be in life. I mean does a 12 year old kid just wake up one morning and say: I want to be an astronaught and fly into space one day... or even be the youngest person to climb to the top of Mt Everest... Can these just be only Dreams or become reality as well? What about a 15 year old girl who makes a decision that she wants to be a Captain of a ship... These all just sound like dreams right? Wrong! These dreams and decisions that you make can become your life. If this is what you want to do then just go for it! What have you got to lose...?
“Life is not about spending your entire time trying to reach your dreams and goals. Life is about living your dreams out every day until you reach your goal in life. Your whole life is a dream of planning and living, so do all you can do today to enjoy the journey for every track you end up travelling on."
"If you have Dreams and Goals and are passionate about reaching them then for what it’s worth don’t let anything or anyone stop you from achieving them. You will reach them if you set your heart to it!"
That's right Women do go to sea, not just as stewards. There are a rising number of Women heading to sea now to become Chief Officers and Captains of Cruise Ships, RoRo and Container vessels, and Rail Ferries. That's my Dream, passion and goals summed up in these few sentences. To become a Captain and be the best that I can be while at the same time encouraging other young woman to take on the same challenges as I did. Think and dream big then step on board a ship and let your passion lead you.
2009 was the year to remember, 2010 is now the year to look forward to...
