My name is Alexandra. I decided to tell you my story because I hope that some people will follow my example and will become as happy as I am. I grew up in a strict family. My parents always believed that I will become an economist or a lawyer because these professions are able to provide me a good job any time. Maybe my parents are right, but I always dreamed about a profession of a fitness-trainer. Actually I couldn’t even dream about it because I wasn’t a self-confident person and thought that I am not attractive. I successfully finished school, entered economic faculty of a local university,  which was easy to do due to my excellent grades… and started learning boring economy laws, tendencies etc. Every day I suffered of boredom! I am sure that there are many people who find this profession very interesting, but I wanted to be a fitness-trainer!!! For a while I just visited trainings and got lots of pleasure thanks to them!

Once I was going home from the university and passed by one fitness-center. I thought: “Should I suffer till the end of my life? Soon I will finish the university and start my work as some economist? Why should I waste my time on things that I hate? So, NOW OR NEVER!” I entered the fitness-club, approached the administrator and said: “I want to work as a fitness-trainer in your club. Though I don’t have required education and work-experience, but I like it most of all in my life, and I will try my best to make my clients fit and happy! Give me a chance!” Maybe the administrator was shocked with my words…but in a few days I started training my first group, and in a year I was a great fitness-trainer! An administrator of the best fitness-center of our city invited me to work for them! Now I train people in 2 great clubs and I am totally happy! I will finish the university in a year, but I know that I will not work as an economist, because I am highly-demanded in my “dream-work” – as a fitness-trainer!

Don’t be afraid to change your life and to make it as great as you want. Just make a first step and everything else will follow! Remember: every day is the first day of the rest of your life! Make it each one a good one!

Sincerely,

Alexandra
