[校园生活] 千里之行始于足下

 千里之行始于足下

                                                       2013年1月8日

      Alisha开始自己的旅程。

       老子曾说过：“千里之行始于足下。”这正是我们正在走的道路。

       我们每一个人都在人生的旅途上，我们前行的方向是一样的，但是旅途的路线和生活的方向却将我们带往不同的终点。知道我们是如此的不同但是却都在经历着这些事情，是非常让人安慰的。

       我非常享受在蓝山国际酒店管理学院鲁拉校区度过的时光。我仍然记得2011年9月28日第一天到校的情景，我是如此兴奋和急切地想要去探索一番，不仅是我的周边环境而且还有我自己的能力。如今我已经开始了在鲁拉校区最后一个学期的学习了，回首我在蓝山的旅途，十分精彩。

       蓝山鲁拉校区安静的小镇生活并不总是像我来自的大城市那样丰富多彩。我是一个在大城市多伦多（Toronto）长大的女孩，加拿大这里到处都是步履匆匆的行人、呼呼的汽笛声和城市的喧嚣。当然鲁拉仍然有其独特的步调，一种我无法用言语形容的步调。不管怎样，它都使我获得了学习进步。

       前9个月，我交到了很多很棒的新朋友。同时我也对自己有了更多的了解。我在鲁拉校区和澳大利亚的经历使我受益良多。

       之前，我并没有和所有人都打成一片，而我结交到的朋友现在仍然在我的旅途上陪伴着我。我们来自哪里、我们想要走向何方以及我们想要做什么，这些都使我们与众不同，但是我们又在某些方面是相同的，我们对酒店行业抱有同样的热情，我们都很重要。

       如今，我已返回家乡过圣诞节，一步步走向另一段旅途。我的下一站是到荷兰阿姆斯特丹（Amsterdam）进行第二年的行业实习。随我一起进行一场跨越澳洲-北美-欧洲三个大陆的精彩旅途吧，它会为我带来独特的体验、冒险和学习曲线。

       我不会期待每一个旅途都很轻松，我只能期待每一个都非常值得！

The Journey of a Thousand Miles

January 8th, 2013

Alisha starting her journey

There is a saying that goes ‘The journey of a thousand miles begins withthe first step’- Lao Tzu which is exactly the path that we’re all taking.

Each of us individually is on a path, we’re heading in the same direction but each ofour courses and life’s direction will take us to different endings. There is somuch beauty in knowing that we’re all in this together but yet we’re all sodifferent.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in Leura at the Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School. I can rememberthe day I first arrived at campus on 28 September, 2011, I was filled withso much excitement and with so much eagerness to explore; not only mysurroundings but also my own capabilities. It’s amazing to look back now as Icommenced my final term on the Leura campus.

The quiet small town life of the Blue Mountains town of Leura wasn’t always as exciting as the bigcity from which I came.  I am a girl who was raised in the big city of Toronto, Canadawhere there is nothing better than fast paced pedestrians,sirens and citynoises. Leura still has it’s own unique pace and a certain ‘Je ne sais pas ce que’ to itwhich is a certain I don’t know what. Either way it has only enhanced mylearning.

In my first nine months I have made many amazing new friends. I have learned so much aboutmyself. I have grown and developed in a way I could have never done with theexperiences of my time in Leura and Australia as a whole.

Not everyone I was once close with, am I still close with, which has equally been all apart  of the journey I am on. What makes us different is where wecome from, where we want to go and what we want to do but equally and uniquelywe’re all the same, we’re all filled with the same passion for the hospitalityindustry and we’re all pieces of a bigger puzzle.

I have now returned home for Christmas with many steps and many miles into anotheraspect of my journey to come. The next stop for me is Amsterdam,Holland for mysecond year placement. I am so excited to take you with me on my odyseey acrossthree continents Australia-North America-Europe, each offering it’s very ownexperiences, adventures and learning curves.

I don’t expect any of it to be easy, I can only expect it to be worth it.

Internationally yours,

Alisha
