Reflection:
A career I’m interested in
becoming is a wedding planner because I love weddings and I love, the idea of
love and it would be a job where I could combine both things int0 one. And I believe
it would be awesome to be a part of such a special day for the brides like
picking their dress or planning their bridal shower, and helping them enjoy
their special day by taking all their stress away.
