Namaste…I know your story (Pause a minute…) I don’t want to say that I’ve been to India or seen all my fellow classmates’ slides on Hindu temples. I didn’t grow up in a country like Mexico or Japan…you know it’s going to sound weird. Still though – I have a good feeling about this trip to your school Lead in for section: My Vulnerability As a self-conscious 15 y.o from South Australia, I knew exactly how much better my life would be if I had access to an Ivy school. It was almost like a magical tool I thought, and of course I knew exactly which Ivy I wanted the job – Stanford University. What I didn’t know was exactly why or what exactly would follow this. When the email showed up with my admission to one of these schools – Harvard Business School (HBS), in a sense I felt a kind of disbelief… I almost cried (I never got used to crying in front of adults for example – no joke, but after getting this email you’ll have realized why).

While some of these challenges might have made check that think twice and give another topic a shot I personally find this so intriguing and I’ll never stop myself from being passionate about the Royal Caribbean group. One possible negative is that many seem to think it’s unfair they were so devastated while other more profitable businesses got off easier during the crisis (Delta/United) this kind of argument would frustrate the moral integrity lover within me as that’s almost an unfairness for all we all live during one unique experience during COVID19 era and it wouldn’t be productive. The **cruise** and **travel** business being particularly hard hit by that virus also makes me wonder if there are some inherent vulnerability (which again might just mean inherent to that industry.) But on another hand we get the opportunity to see **creative solutions and entrepreneurial spirit within a large company**.
