Student’s Reflection:

1. Give three reasons why you would like this job:

a) You get to go to different countries

b) I like to go on planes and I actually had interest

c) I think it would be fun to serve others on the plane

 

2. Give three reasons why you would dislike the job:

a) You can’t sleep during the night

b) You have to go work whenever they call

c) Different time zone

 

3. Is this job for you? Why or why not?

I don’t know if this job is for me but currently I really like how my mom gets to go to different places and she goes to hotels and actually she meets a lot of famous people. Maybe this job is for me. But at the same time I still have time to think about it and find what I am passionate about.

 

4. Explain the value of the TOKTW experience in relation to your ideas about your post secondary (after high school) plans (education?, training?, travel?, work?)

I could probably put this on the résumé and I think it would help a lot if something that I am passionate about is something to relate to what I have experienced already in the past. It could be helpful for many things in life.
