Elevator Pitch Rough Draft

Elevator Pitch

Premise - 

Graduating college in the spring

family trip to New York City (somewhere I have never been before)’

In the Elevator at our hotel with my Dad, were going up to floor 30

Its Christmas Time, and I’m graduating in May

Dad starts by asking me how Santa Barbara is and my new job.

Dad, I want to run an idea I've had by you and see what you think about it. I'm not sure if you'll support it or not but I have to try.  I’ve realized over the past year that every time I travel to somewhere new I absolutely love it. Like right now, were in an elevator in New York City during Christmas time, looking over the city skyline. This is a view I haven't seen yet with my own eyes and I love it. I can't get enough of it, I wanna keep seeing new sights and experiencing new things. 

So this is my pitch to you dad, as you know I’ve recently started working at the Boathouse and will be graduating in the spring with no real plan of what I will be doing after. I’m positive I don't want to jump right into my career and risk missing out on some aspects of a career free life. Well I’ve realized I want to take some time to travel and enjoy what the globe has to offer. I have a tentative plan on where I want to go and what to types of things to do but the main aspect I am missing in the funding. 

That is why I am talking to you about this Dad. Because traveling the world costs a pretty penny and I know you'd want me to experience all the places around the globe that you have experienced over the years. So heres my thought, for the next six months while I work at Boathouse I will try and save as much money as I can. And however much money I am able to save you will match me and give to me for travel purposes. With the money I will save and the money you give me I will definitely be able to spend some time traveling to some new places. I know this is a lot to ask of you and mom but if you agree I will consider it my graduation gift. And it will also promote me to work harder and become better at managing my money. Also, I know you don’t usually support the idea of just giving myself or the other siblings money for stuff we want to do. But I see this preposition as different because the amount of money I will receive from you is solely dependent on myself and how hard I will work. And the money I will get won’t be for a sort of material item but rather life experiences and life lessons. I feel like there is so much out there to learn and see. I've seen so much of the world over the internet but now I want to see it through my own eyes. There's something so magical to me about being in a spot on earth I have never stepped foot on before. 

I don’t need a definite answer right now, I just figured I pitch that idea too you and see what you thought and how you reacted. Give it some thought, talk to mom and get back to me pop. No rush, Love you!
