Why Event Planning?

Why do I want to be an event planner and when did I decide that this is what I wanted to do?

Someone recently just asked me that question and I remember the VERY day I fell in love with event planning.

I was a sophomore in high school and was asked to join the homecoming committee. I was not involved in any organizations at school except sports. My life goal then was to play in the WNBA.

I went to the first meeting and we had to discuss themes and other ideas for the the event. I literally stood in-front of the class and planned the entire event. It came out of nowhere and that was the first time I have ever felt confident standing in-front of a crowd. I ended up leading the whole committee and planning and planning the event more than I was doing my school work. Basketball wasn't even as important to me anymore.

The day of the event came and people had dates, they were dancing and having a great time. I was barely a part of any of that because I was working the event. Normally I would have loved to be out there with my date dancing and having a great time, but I realized it was more excited for me to see how many people were enjoying the event that I coordinated with my team.

That day I learned that I am very passionate about this field so I joined student council right away and became Event and Fundraising Chair and loved every minute of it.
