Many people ask me which institution I graduated from, and I can proudly say every time that it is IST, the International School of Tourism. They provided opportunities and taught me to have vision, to build a career, generate income, and create a reputation. They taught me to be a good person, to have leadership qualities, and to know how to give back to society.
