My Travel Story

Hi!

My high school is offering a trip to the United States for Accounting and Economics. In 2018, we will be travelling to the amazing New York City, Washington DC, and Orlando! But being 14 years old means I am too young to get a job. It is difficult to get a job under 16 years here. This takes away a useful fundraising resource.

I would love to be able to take part in the this incredible trip, as I hope to move to a big city, work with businesses and companies in the future. This is an amazing opportunity for me and my peers, as we will be taking part in insider tours of many big companies such as Macy's, a Wall Street insider tour, Madame Tussaudes, Kennedy Space Center, and many more incredible sights and beneficial opportunities. Coming from New Zealand to the USA will be a great way of understanding how everything works and will gain us an understanding of it all, leading us down our career path. I have a huge interest in how one operates a business and how everything is kept running smoothly. I am also interested to know of the troubles the companies come across and how they resolve the issues.

My older brother took part in a similar trip a few years ago and he told me it was one of the best things he had ever done. I hope to one day tell my younger brother the same thing if he shows an interest in business.

I really do hope to travel to the USA and pursue a deeper understanding of my possible career.

Thank You.
